Void spot assay (VSA) noninvasively evaluates urination. VSA is often not performed in rats due to difficulty analyzing larger papers compared with mouse. This study optimizes VSA for rats by comparing post-assay visualization techniques: bright field light (BF), ultraviolet light (UV), and ninhydrin spray (N).

Iodine intakes of pregnant females from Québec, Canada.

J Trace Elem Med Biol

January 2025

Reproduction, Mother and Child Health Unit, Research Center of the CHU de Québec, Université Laval, Québec City, Québec, Canada; Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproduction, CHU de Québec-Université Laval, Québec City, Québec, Canada. Electronic address:

Background: Adequate maternal iodine intake is important for fetal brain development. Based on iodine intakes of non-pregnant females of reproductive age from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (2016 -2017) it can be extrapolated that most pregnant females in Canada will not meet iodine requirements without supplementation.

Objectives: To assess iodine intakes of 500 pregnant, nulliparous females from Québec, Canada and report on use of multivitamin/mineral (MVM) supplements and coverage of iodized salt.

Department of Environmental Oncology, Institute of Industrial Ecological Sciences, University of Occupational and Environmental Health, Japan, 1-1 Iseigaoka, Yahatanishi-ku, Kitakyushu, 807-8555, Japan.

Background: Urinary 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OHGuo) levels serve as a biomarker for oxidative stress and hydroxyl radical-induced RNA damage. Evaluating the diurnal and daily fluctuations in urinary 8-OHGuo excretion levels is essential for understanding its implications. However, research in this area remains limited.

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and tobacco smoke is widespread and linked to various adverse health outcomes. Their potential to disturb the neurological system has raised much concern, particularly among older adults. Thus, we conducted a case-control study to assess the associations between co-exposure to PAHs and nicotine, and the risk of cognitive impairment and oxidative stress in older adults.

This population-based, nationally representative cross-sectional study assessed the daily salt consumption status and its associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors using weighted data from the STEPwise approach to noncommunicable disease risk factor surveillance conducted in 2018 in Bangladesh. It included a non-institutionalized adults' population of 6189 men and women aged 18-69 years. Their daily salt consumption was estimated using the spot urine sodium concentration following the Tanaka equation and reported according to the standard nomenclature proposed by the World Hypertension League and partner organizations involved in dietary salt reduction.
