The aim of the study was to assess arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) contamination freshwater fish from Poland. Selected species raw, smoked, pickled (n = 212) were evaluated by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) inductively coupled plasma - mass (ICP-MS). Assessment health risk associated with intake investigated elements present in performed. Contamination As, Cd, Hg Pb ranged as follows: As 23.3-59,290.1 µg/kg, Cd 0.02-97.0 9.04-606.3 0.04-171.4 µg/kg. Consumption...
Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the neurodegenerative process and can impair cognitive functions. In prevention of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), an adequate consumption dietary antioxidants may be major factor. The objective study was to estimate selenium (Se), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), total antioxidant status (TAS) serum patients with AD relation their functions habits. A 110 (aged 54–93 years) early or moderate AD, as well 60 healthy people 52–83 were studied. severity assessed using...
Abstract Beebread is processed pollen stored in the cells of honeycomb, with addition various enzymes and honey, which undergoes lactic acid fermentation. Ethanolic extracts (EBBs) were obtained from three different samples beebread Poland. Assays carried out for determination chemical composition (GC/MS), total phenolic content, antioxidant cytotoxic activities. The effects (10, 20, 30, 50, 100 μg/mL) on viability glioblastoma cell line (U87MG) studied after 24 h, 48 72 h. Our results...
COVID-19 related restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus result in changes daily routines and physical activity which can have a negative effect on eating health habits. The aim study was to assess impact pandemic patients with diabetes their nutrition behaviours. A survey conducted July 2020 included 124 individuals type 1 (n = 90) 2 34) mellitus from Poland. To nutritional behaviours, an online questionnaire covering basic information, anthropometric data, details regarding...
Mushrooms are used as a source of food and medicine, but unfortunately, they may accumulate substances that adversely affect human health. The paper presents the content toxic elements such Hg, Pb, Cd As determined in wild mushrooms (n = 48) divided into caps stipes Armillaria mellea, Cantharellus cibarius, Coprinus comatus, Lycoperdon perlatum, Tricholoma portentosum, Suillus luteus, Xerocomus badius. Atomic absorption spectrometry inductively coupled plasma-mass techniques were used....
Introduction Zinc (Zn) is one of the most important trace elements in body. Zn deficiency seems to play a role development age-related diseases and impairment quality life. status has been especially studied free-living or hospitalised people, but data from older residents nursing homes are scarce. This study aimed determine among individuals correlation their mental physical performance. Methods A total 100 participants aged between 60-102 years were recruited October 2010 May 2012 at home...
Cancer incidence rates are on the increase worldwide. The most common brain cancer in adults is glioblastoma. Currently available treatment modalities limited and natural products such as mushrooms could enhance them. Apart from nutritional value, an excellent source of bioactive compounds therefore be used to treat various disorders. aim study was assess anti-glioma potential selected U87MG, LN-18 glioblastoma SVGp12 normal human astroglial cell lines. materials were Cantharellus cibarius,...
Food supplements (FS) are a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, or other ingredients with nutritional physiological effects. Due to their easy availability, widespread advertising, and sometimes low price, increased consumption this group preparations has been observed. Therefore, the aim study was assess knowledge intake FS during COVID-19 pandemic in Poland, particular reference containing zinc vitamin D. It noted that both above were used significantly more often by people higher...
Abstract Background Propolis is a honey bee product which contains many active compounds, such as CAPE or chrysin, and has beneficial activities. Recently, its anti-tumor properties have been discussed. We tested whether the ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) interferes with temozolomide (TMZ) to inhibit U87MG cell line growth. Methods The glioblastoma was exposed TMZ (10-100 μM), EEP μg/ml) mixture during 24, 48 72 hours. division examined by H 3 -thymidine incorporation, while western...
Coffee is a widely consumed beverage, both in Europe, where its consumption highest, and on other continents. It provides many compounds, including phenolic compounds. The aim of the study was to assess effect various brewing methods total content (TPC) infusion. Research material comprised commercially available coffees: Instant Arabica Robusta, freshly ground Robusta (immediately prior analysis), decaffeinated Arabica, green Robusta. following preparation were used: Pouring hot water over...
Adequate glycemic management is one of the main goals in treating type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and preventing early onset diabetic complications. Improperly controlled (DM) will result oxidative stress (OS) lead to further related health issues. Therefore, aim this study was evaluate body’s ability defend against OS depending on duration T1DM, metabolic management, antioxidant intake modern monitoring systems (GMS). The included 103 adolescents with T1DM aged 10–17 years. control group...
Many epidemiological and experimental studies report a strong role of chemical carcinogens in the etiology bladder cancer. However, involvement trace elements tumorigenesis transitional cell carcinoma has been poorly investigated. The aim this study was to examine relationship between zinc, copper cancer.Zinc concentration Cu/Zn ratio two 36-sample series cancer tissue sera from patients with neoplasm were matched those control group. amount every sample determined using atomic absorption...
Honey has been used as food and a traditional medicament since ancient times. However, recently many scientists have concentrating on the anti-oxidant, anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory other properties of honey. In this study, we investigated for first time an anticancer effect different honeys from Poland tumor cell line - glioblastoma multiforme U87MG. Anti-proliferative activity its interferences with temozolomide were determined by cytotoxicity test DNA binding [H3]-thymidine...
Mercury (Hg) can enter the human body through respiratory tract and digestive system, but also skin. Sources of Hg in environment be natural processes, activities, including agriculture, chemical, pharmaceutical industries. food, with cosmetics that are used for a long time. Therefore, aim this study was to evaluate content 268 randomly selected cosmetics: Natural conventional, face body. determined using an atomic absorption spectrometer (AMA 254, Leco, Prague, Czech Republic). It shown...
Mercury (Hg) is a fairly common environmental pollutant. Chronic exposure to this element may cause, inter alia, kidney damage, and disturbances in the functioning of nervous system. Literature data indicate that food, including dietary supplements (DS), sometimes be contaminated with Hg. Therefore, aim study was assess Hg content DS containing ingredients plant origin. The covered 200 available for sale Poland. determined by using AAS method amalgamation technique AMA-254 analyzer. highest...
