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...
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.

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...
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...
Nuts used as a snack and meal accompaniment supply plant protein fatty acids that are beneficial for human health; however, they can also provide minerals. The aim of this study was to determine the content selected elements often deficient in diet (calcium, potassium, magnesium, selenium, zinc) nuts whether be supplement deficiencies diet. In study, we analyzed 10 types (n = 120 samples) consumed available sale Poland. calcium, zinc determined by atomic absorption spectrometry method, flame...
Background: Rice is one of the most commonly consumed grains. It could be a good source nutrients in diet, but its consumption also contribute to exposure toxic elements. All rice products available on Polish market are imported, which may pose particular concern as safety their consumption. The aim our study was estimate content As, Cd, Pb, and Hg assess health risk indicators related elements with among adult population Poland. Methods: A total 99 samples from 12 groups (basmati, black,...
Background: Nutritional food quality plays a crucial role in maintaining human health. However, and drinking water, along with occupational exposure, are the main routes of exposure to toxic elements for humans. The aim this study was determine content As, Cd, Pb Hg naturally gluten-free grains products made from buckwheat, millet, maize, quinoa oat. safety consumption tested also assessed. Methods: contents Cd were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). To...
In adolescence, the body requires sufficient amounts of adequate nutrients. This is especially important in case young athletes, for whom a nutrition plan should be as significant proper training plan. The aim study was 17-week follow-up effects individual and group intervention on changes eating habits selected biochemical parameters. 46 soccer players aged 12-17 from Soccer Academy Northeastern Poland completed study. One received only recommendations, while other additionally education....
An appropriate balanced diet and dietary patterns are important at every stage of life, but in the case young patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), it is especially crucial during COVID-19 pandemic. The aim study was to assess health nutritional behaviors, mainly adherence Mediterranean (MD), second wave pandemic Poland among women T1DM, compare them a healthy population. This survey (based on questionnaire) conducted December 2020 included 219 women, (n = 106) T1DM 113), from...
Nuts are characterized by high nutritional value and recommended as a part of healthy diet. At the same time, toxic elements could also be found in them. In this research, we measured content As, Cd, Pb Hg wide variety edible nuts. To determine As content, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was applied. Cd were detected electrothermal atomic absorption analytical technique (ETAAS) with Zeeman background correction, while method (AAS) amalgamation case used. The study...
The problem of dietary deficiency several essential elements among different stages life is still observed. consumption whole grains (among others unprocessed rice) recommended as a part healthy diet. This research aimed to determine the content selected macro- and microelements in rice products verify whether tested could be regarded source minerals diet adult European population.
Young barley seems to be a promising material for use as nutricosmetic due the presence of many biologically active compounds. The aim this study was evaluate effect Hordeum vulgare L. extracts on human skin fibroblasts exposed ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) radiation. Analysis chemical composition showed predominance 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid. quality assessment that young preparations have high total polyphenolic content (TPC) and favourable antioxidant status (TAS). They also contain...
Toxic elements have a negative impact on health, especially among infants and young children. Even low levels of exposure can impair the normal growth development In children, all organs metabolic processes are insufficiently developed, making them particularly vulnerable to effects toxic elements.

Natural bee honeys are commonly used by patients for nutritional, preventive, and curative purposes. Honey varieties produced in other countries, including Italy Spain, gaining popularity. The aim of the study was to evaluate selected antioxidant properties honey, taking into account declared actual variety. research material consisted 105 honey samples, from Poland (n = 50), Spain 35), 20). variety determined melissopalinological method, case honeydew honeys, electrical conductivity...
The aim of this study was to estimate the consumption selected dietary components with antioxidant properties, undertake body composition analysis, assess skin hydration and lubrication, establish relationships between above parameters. carried out on 172 young women. ingredients (vitamins A, C, D E, Cu, Mn, Zn) assessed using Diet 6.0 program, electrical bioimpedance lubrication were corneometric sebumetric methods, respectively. About one-third students showed insufficient vitamin E zinc,...
The skin is one of the ways human body exposed to toxic elements, including mercury (Hg).
