The blood-brain barrier (BBB) serves as a crucial interface, regulating the transfer of trace elements (TEs) such as copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) between the bloodstream and the brain. Cu and Zn are essential for maintaining neural function and enzymatic processes. Understanding the interplay of Cu and Zn with the BBB is crucial for elucidating their roles in neurological health and disease.

Therefore, we investigated the association between thyroid function and intrahepatic lipids (IHLs) during a 36-month randomized controlled trial evaluating a diet known to reduce liver fat.
Design: 502 eligible subjects (aged 50-80 years, ≥1 risk factor for unhealthy aging) were randomly assigned to either follow a diet rich in unsaturated fatty acids, plant protein, and fiber (intervention group, IG), or dietary recommendations of the German Nutrition Society (control group, CG).
Article Synopsis
- Aging can lead to health problems, so it's important to find healthy eating habits that help us age well.
- The study looked at how two different eating patterns affected the mineral levels in older people between 50-80 years old over two years.
- Results showed both eating patterns initially had low zinc and selenium, but while zinc levels went down over time, levels of selenium, manganese, and magnesium increased in some participants.
This study explores age- and time-dependent variations in postprandial micronutrient absorption after a micronutrient-rich intervention meal within the Biomiel (bioavailability of micronutrients in elderly) study. Comprising 43 healthy participants, the study compares young (n = 21; mean age 26.90 years) and old (n = 22; mean age 66.
