Lithium (Li) is an important micronutrient in human nutrition, although its exact molecular function as a potential essential trace element has not yet been fully elucidated. It previously shown that several mineral waters are rich and highly bioavailable sources of Li for consumption. Nevertheless, little known about the extent which other beverages contribute to dietary supply. To this end, content 160 different comprising wine beer, soft energy drinks tea coffee infusions was analysed by...
The amount of dietary sugars and the administration lithium both impact lifespan fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. It is noteworthy that attributed with insulin-like activity as it stimulates protein kinase B/Akt suppresses glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). However, its interaction sugar has largely remained unexplored. Therefore, we investigated effects supplementation on known lithium-sensitive parameters in flies, such lifespan, body composition, GSK-3 phosphorylation, transcriptome,...
Scope Boron is a trace element that naturally occurs in soil, making mineral and medicinal water important contributors to overall intake. Thus, systematic screening, the mean boron concentrations of 381 German waters are determined. Methods Results analyzed by inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS). Highest values find from southwest Germany. The content positively correlated with concentration most other bulk elements, including calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium. Mineral either...
The trace element lithium exerts a versatile bioactivity in humans, to some extend overlapping with vivo findings the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. A potentially essential function of reproduction has been suggested since 1980s and multiple studies have published postulating regulatory role female gametogenesis. However, impact on fruit fly egg production not at center attention date. In present study, we report that dietary (0.1-5.0 mM LiCl) substantially improved life time D....
