This study verified the origin of 346 defatted Korean and non-Korean pork samples via trace elements profiling, and C and N stable isotope ratios analysis. The analyzed elements were Li, Li, B, B, VCr, Cr, Cr, Mn, Ni, Ni, Co, Cu, Cu, Zn, Zn, Ga, Ga, As, Se, Sr, Sr, Sr, Sr, Rb, Mo, Mo, Mo, Ag, Ag, Cd, Cd, Cd, Cd, Cd, Cd, Cs, Pb, Pb, and Pb. Content (mg/kg) of V (0.012), Cr (0.882), As (0.017), Rb (57.7), and Sr (46.3) were high in Korean pork samples whereas Li, Li, Co, Mn, Ni, Sr, Sr, Sr, Cd, and Cs were found higher in non-Korean samples. The results of discriminant analysis showed that the trace elements content and stable isotope ratios were significant for the discrimination of geographical origins with a perfect discrimination rate of 100%.

Copper exposure poses potential detrimental effects on both public and ecosystem health. Spermidine, an antioxidant, has shown promise in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation within the liver. However, its specific role in mitigating copper-induced hepatic cuproptosis and disturbances in copper metabolism remains unexplored.

Background: This research investigates the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow, heat, and mass transfer of tangent hyperbolic ternary hybrid nanofluids over a permeable stretching sheet. The study considers three types of nanoparticles-aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), copper (Cu), and titanium oxide (TiO₂)-dispersed in a base fluid of ethylene glycol (C₂H₆O₂). This ternary hybrid nanofluid (Al₂O₃-Cu-TiO₂/C₂H₆O₂) has potential applications in cooling systems, biomedical uses for targeted drug delivery and hyperthermia treatments, heat exchangers, and polymer processing techniques like extrusion and casting.

: Modern societal stressors have been linked to declining testosterone levels among young men, contributing to somatic, psychological, and sexual health problems. Despite growing evidence suggesting a link between trace elements and testosterone-related symptoms, there are only a few comprehensive analyses on younger populations. This study's aim was to examine how serum trace elements modulate the relationship between testosterone levels and symptom severity.

: Vascular aging is associated with increased arterial stiffness and changes in the wall structure, leading to a loss of elasticity. Silicon is abundant in arteries and plays a key role in the synthesis and stabilization of elastin fibers. In animal models of accelerated cardiovascular aging, a specific nutritional supplement based on silicon-enriched spirulina (SpSi) has been shown to have beneficial effects on vascular function.

Aflatoxin, produced by and fungi, contaminates a broad range of crops such as maize, nuts, and cotton. Aflatoxin exposure causes growth failure, immune suppression, and liver cancer. While several systematic reviews have assessed the link between aflatoxin exposure and growth development in humans, there is a lack of reviews on the associations between aflatoxin exposure and micronutrient levels/status.
