In the last 15 years, among the many reasons given for the development of idiopathic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD), copper imbalance has been identified as a factor, and PD is often referred to as a copper-mediated disorder. More than 640 papers have been devoted to the relationship between PD and copper status in the blood, which include the following markers: total copper concentration, enzymatic ceruloplasmin (Cp) concentration, Cp protein level, and non-ceruloplasmin copper level. Most studies measure only one of these markers. Therefore, the existence of a correlation between copper status and the development of PD is still debated. Based on data from the published literature, meta-analysis, and our own research, it is clear that there is a connection between the development of PD symptoms and the number of copper atoms, which are weakly associated with the ceruloplasmin molecule. In this work, the link between the risk of developing PD and various inborn errors related to copper metabolism, leading to decreased levels of oxidase ceruloplasmin in the circulation and cerebrospinal fluid, is discussed.

Quantitative analysis and risk assessment of heavy metal pollution in an intensive industrial and agricultural region.
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf
January 2025
Environment Research Institute, Shandong University, Qingdao, China. Electronic address:
In recent decades, the study of heavy metal pollution has garnered significant attention owing to the advancement of industrialization. To explore the contamination of heavy metals in an intensive industrial and agricultural region in Shandong province, China, 101 surface soil samples and 80 samples of edible crop parts were collected from the vicinity of an industrial park. A positive matrix factorization-multilayer perceptron model (PMF-MLP) was established to identify the sources of heavy metals and quantify the complex relationships between pollution sources, crop types, and pollution status.

Article Synopsis
- Oxidative stress significantly impacts infants born to diabetic mothers (IDMs), leading to complications due to increased lipid peroxidation and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) levels.
- Maternal glycemic control directly influences oxidative stress markers, with higher maternal HbA1c correlating to lower total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and higher MDA and IMA levels in cord blood.
- Effective glycemic management in diabetic pregnancies is essential to mitigate oxidative stress and protect the health of infants.
[Dietary iron, zinc, selenium, and copper intake and food sources among adult residents in 10 provinces(autonomous regions) of China in 2022-2023].

Objective: To understand the dietary iron, zinc, selenium, and copper intake and food sources of residents aged 18 years and above in 10 provinces(autonomous regions) of China.
Methods: Using the data of China Development and Nutrition Health Impact Cohort Survey from 2022 to 2023, 9981 residents aged 18 and above with complete three consecutive days with 24 h dietary recalls were selected as the research subjects. The intake status and food sources of dietary iron, zinc, selenium, and copper were analyzed and compared with the estimated average requirement(EAR) of iron, zinc, selenium and copper for Chinese residents.
Copper status and its relation to abdominal obesity indices and liver function in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a case-control study.
BMC Res Notes
December 2024
Nutrition Research Center, Department of Biochemistry and Diet Therapy, Faculty of Nutrition & Food Sciences, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.
Objective: This study investigated copper (Cu) status in relation to abdominal obesity indices and liver function in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This case-control study was carried out on 80 overweight/obese patients with NAFLD and 80 apparently healthy age, sex, and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls. A validated and reliable 168-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was completed for each subject and fasting serum levels of liver aminotransferases, ferritin, Cu and ceruloplasmin were assessed.

Offshore wind energy (OWE) represents a key technology for achieving a sustainable energy transition. However, offshore wind farms (OWFs) can impact the environment via installation, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning activities together with the raw materials and energy required for their manufacturing. This study assesses the material and carbon footprint of potential OWF locations in the North Sea for various possible future technology developments.
