In this study, Bushman women in various life stages had higher levels of iron and zinc in their hair compared to Bantu and American mothers, with iron deficiency anemia being rare among them.

This study found that patients with MPA had significantly lower zinc and manganese levels and higher copper levels in their hair compared to hair-healthy men.

This study found that children with pituitary dwarfism had higher zinc and copper hair concentrations and lower manganese concentrations compared to healthy children.

Changing mineral levels in rats' diets can prevent kidney stones, affect hair growth, and influence weight gain.

This study suggests that hair analysis detecting trace elements like copper and iron may help in screening for diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma and osteoporosis, due to altered element concentrations in patients.

This study found that while micronutrient abnormalities are common among patients receiving home parenteral nutrition, serious consequences from these abnormalities are rare.

This review paper examined recent research on the biofortification of horticultural plants, such as fruits and vegetables, with selenium, highlighting their role in addressing selenium deficiencies and supporting various biological functions crucial to human health.

In this study conducted on Iraqi individuals with celiac disease not on a gluten-free diet, researchers observed elevated serum urea and creatinine levels, which may indicate an increased risk of renal dysfunction, alongside decreased magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C compared to healthy controls.

This review discusses the catalytic mechanisms and potential applications of nanozymes in areas like tumor therapy and biosensing, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study discusses using SEM/EDX for elemental analysis of hair samples in forensic science but notes challenges in detecting certain trace elements from raw hair.

This study observed that radioactive sulphur appeared in rat and mouse hair follicles more quickly than in lambs, possibly linked to faster hair growth rates in the rodents.

This study found that women with chronic telogen effluvium had significantly lower levels of zinc, copper, and ferritin in their serum compared to healthy controls.

This study analyzed soil, water, and carrot samples in Vietnam, and found that organic farming can reduce heavy metal levels in carrots compared to conventional methods, potentially improving their nutritional safety.

In this study, researchers used SEM/SDD-EDS to identify waterborne minerals like calcium and aluminum in the scalp hair cuticle of individuals using treated or untreated water for hair washing, finding that prior application of coconut oil or conditioners can prevent calcium uptake.

Higher levels of chromium, selenium, and copper in hair are linked to increased insulin resistance in visceral-obese adults.

In this study, powdered milk samples from Senegal showed varying levels of heavy metals, with some exceeding acceptable maximum levels for calcium, potassium, and phosphorus, indicating potential safety concerns.

In this study, higher concentrations of environmental metals, particularly manganese, were linked to worse self-reported attention-related behaviors in adolescents from Italy, with no significant modification of this effect by iron status.

This narrative discusses the critical roles of zinc in both biological processes and industrial applications but provides no new research findings.

This study assessed whether the elemental composition of human hair could serve as a marker for kidney stones, cholelithiasis, hypertension, and diabetes, but it reports only variations in element content along hair regions.

Sulphur in hair follicles increases from the bulb and then levels off, while other elements vary in distribution.

This study examined the relationship between environmental factors and androgenic alopecia among residents in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, finding significant correlations between the concentration of chemical elements in hair and consumption of grain products, but minimal correlation with soil trace elements.

This study found that repeated oral intake of 0.5 or 5 mg/kg of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles induced pulmonary toxicity in rats, with dose-dependent oxidative stress and inflammation observed, but no notable toxicity was seen at a 0.05 mg/kg dose.

This study found that adding molybdenum to poultry diets depressed growth without affecting feather pigmentation, and copper supplementation tended to counteract the growth inhibition.

This study found that serum levels of zinc, copper, and selenium were significantly lower in patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, regardless of the number of hair loss patches.

This study found that women with chronic telogen effluvium had significantly lower levels of zinc, calcium, vitamin D, and ferritin compared to healthy women without hair loss, suggesting that monitoring and restoring these micronutrients may be crucial in managing this condition.

This narrative review explores existing evidence on zinc's impact in certain immune-related, gastrointestinal, dermatological, and metabolic disorders, considering clinical and observational studies to assess zinc supplementation's clinical relevance.

This study found that subcutaneous injections of certain chelators led to skin and hair depigmentation, increased skin elasticity, and disturbed hair growth in minks, without affecting fur quality.

This meta-analysis suggests that patients with alopecia areata have lower serum levels of zinc and selenium compared to healthy controls, which may be important risk factors for the condition.
