Possible metabolite sensor signatures of trace element function/status. 2019; 191(3), Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology. Little is known about the regulation and function of most genes and/or how they relate to the trace element function and requirements. J Biol Chem 2002;277:e22. Apart from a lack of information and difficulty in conducting human studies, a reason for this problem is that there has not been a concerted major research commitment to establish requirements for nutrients in initially healthy humans. Math. Biol Trace Elem Res 1980;2:91-107. Stohs SJ, Bagchi D. Oxidative mechanisms in the toxicity of metal ions. 2020; 928: 072090. Trace elements are very important for cell functions at biological, chemical and molecular levels. Perhaps it might also be productive to measure metabolite and multiple element concentrations in various body fluids. Am J Clin Nutr 1998;67 5 Suppl:1017S-21.

Turnlund JR, Jacob RA, Keen CL, Strain JJ, Kelley DS, Domek JM. Das M, Das R. Need of education and awareness towards zinc supplementation: A review. Diet and skin disease in dogs and cats. It will take some imagination as to what metabolic/physiologic pathway might be probed and with what particular sensor; for copper might this include a catecholamine sensor or with molybdenum a suitable sensor of purine formation and catabolism? 2016; Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology. Essential trace elements of the human body include zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), selenium (Se), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), iodine (I), manga- nese (Mn), and molybdenum (Mo). Quantity elements - Na, Mg, K, Ca, P, S, Cl. Strohman (42) illustrates his argument by listing the various biological levels at which regulation occurs (Table 3) and as the title to the introduction to the series of papers that included Strohman's (42) paper indicated, “It's not just the genes.” To paraphrase Strohman (40), it can be concluded from this perspective that nutritional (trace element) disease phenotypes are controlled not only by genes but also by lawful self-arranging networks that display system-wide dynamics. 2017; International Journal of Cosmetic Science. Factorial: obligatory urine, fecal, skin losses and Cu absorption factor, Factorial method (endogenous losses by various routes; fractional absorption of Zn), Factorial method/basal losses; increase in hemoglobin mass; nonstorage tissues/iron and menstrual losses, together with iron bioavailability, Epigenetic regulation of gene-expression, including pathways that detect energy levels (redox levels) and repress DNA transcription when cellular NADH levels are increased, Regulatory constraints, including posttranslational modification of proteins, Metabolic networks of glycolsis and mitochondrial oxidation reduction are dynamic systems presently best understood in terms of both mechanism of formation and operating principles. & Lalonde, S. (, Roberts, M., Geiger, W. & German, J. Furthermore, it might also be time for those of us interested in this area to step back for a while and abandon immediate attempts to refine, for example, current values for the mean requirements in healthy adults for copper and molybdenum, which are 700 and 34 mg/d, respectively (37). J Toxicol Environ Health 1982;9:175-88. As already mentioned, the challenges here are even more interesting, as well as complex, when the interaction among trace elements and other nutrients is duly considered. Newer aspects of the roles of zinc, manganese, and copper in human nutrition. Furthermore, although mild-moderate zinc deficiency is associated with symptoms such as poor appetite, impaired taste and smell, and poor growth, they are nonspecific and as Black and Miguel (24) state “…it is challenging to identify zinc deficiency with certainty.” This could equally be said of most, if not all, of the other trace elements. How to abbreviate Journal Of Trace Elements In Medicine And Biology? These are other elements whose quantities are small but whose contribution is enormous and essential. Recent advances in disorders of iron metabolism: Mutations, mechanisms and modifiers. 2020; 21(23): 9259, IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering. Trace element definition, any element that is required in minute quantities for physiological functioning. It is relevant, in this context, to mention two recent observations: i) restoration of an adequate zinc status with zinc supplementation lowers measures of iron status in the presence of low iron reserves (22) and ii) treatment of iron deficiency in goitrous children improves the efficacy of iodized oil in reducing goiter (23). 2019; 171: 798. International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology. The elements belonging to these groups are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. An element is called as trace elements when their requirement per day is below 100 mg and deficiency leads to disorders and may prove fatal. 2020; 69(7): 1394, International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research. Again, the message is that trace-element interactions are most important to recognize and that they too determine the phenotype. Which of the following is a trace elements in the human body?

In particular, there has been a strong emphasis on the details of the molecular mechanisms responsible for trace element uptake, movement, homeostasis and function. Nutr Rev 2001;59:281-5. This is not meant to be an exhaustive detailed list but a somewhat general one that I have developed in relation to my interest as a nutritional biochemist and that I can use to make my points. In short, the development and evolution of metabolic profiling technologies, including mass spectrometry (52) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (53), coupled with advances in high throughput analytical and computing technologies, will revolutionize our ability to discover how trace-element nutrients determine the level and activity of specific gene products and affect genetic pathways.

The list of abbreviations related to JTEMB - Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology. ii) What does zinc or other trace metal balance mean functionally? Particularly important will be the development of generic techniques, as has been accomplished in molecular and cellular biology, to monitor many hundreds of metabolites, possibly accomplished with the aid of novel biosensors, such as those exploiting fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) (54, 55). In essence, it seems to me that for the field to move forward we need to be less insular as investigators and even more creative as mentors. There is much room for creative integrative thinking. & Matrisian, L. M. (, Roesner, V., Wagner, C., Kopka, J., Trethewey, R. N. & Willmitzer, L. (, Lindon, J. C., Nicholson, J. K., Holmes, E. & Everett, J. R. (, Fehr, M., Frommer, W. B. The elements belonging to this group are sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, sulfur. Hence, peer review generally results in “low marks” for such endeavors, resulting in difficulty in obtaining outside funding.” Although there is considerable truth to this view, I believe basic investigators and those with a more applied focus in the trace element arena should coalesce and integrate some of their research interests and efforts in and around the issue of defining trace element requirements and improving assessment of nutritional status in quantitative and more precise predictive terms. Dayan AD, Paine AJ. Hum Mol Genet 2001;10:2181-6. Molybdenum is an essential trace element for several enzymes important to animal and plant metabolism: mammalian xanthine oxidase/xanthine dehydrogenase, aldehyde oxidase, sulfite oxidase, formate dehydrogenase, nitrate reductase and nitrogenase. Such a spirit would help create new and exciting interdisciplinary programs, in this case with trace elements and nutritional well-being the primary focus.

The essential trace elements, such as Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, and Co, if deficient, are compensated, whereas other trace elements, for example Hg, Cr, Mo, etc., may react as true therapeutic agents. I believe this approach, suitably combined with more traditional measures of trace element status, offers a new and expanded opportunity to study the dynamic and functional linking between genotype and phenotype. 2016; © Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences | Published by Wolters Kluwer -.

Indeed, as an editorial (18) asked; “What does the genome sequence mean for me, my research and my constitution?” and many attending this meeting have given this question obvious thought by focusing their research on the sequences of relevant genes and their functions. 2020; 103(8): 4090. Thus, I will attempt to create a picture of some of the challenges ahead, or a sort of vision. In 1927, the writer, with Davidson en, made the first attempt to Odell BL. 2020; 19: 100939, Journal of Physics: Conference Series. Fluoride: Benefits and risks of exposure. Although all this needs development and testing, there are potentially many new challenges to metabolic phenotyping and real opportunities for developing and establishing new approaches and/or paradigms to characterize the trace element dependent metabolome.

In achieving this, trace-element and nutritional science will evolve effectively for the improved good of those individuals and populations most vulnerable to trace-element inadequacies, excesses or imbalances. The elements belonging to this group are copper, iron, zinc, chromium, cobalt, iodine, molybdenum, and selenium. In reasonable contrast to the genome, and like the proteome, the metabolome is not stable over time. Paternain JL, Domingo JL, Corbella J. Developmental toxicity of cobalt in the rat. The real point is that a combination of genetic/cellular studies together with whole body investigations of iron uptake and dynamics would be both valuable and exciting and they would also test the validity of such an integrated research framework. Essential trace elements are needed for many physiological and biochemical processes in both plants and animals. Presented as part of the 11th meeting of the international organization, “Trace Elements in Man and Animals (TEMA)” in Berkeley, California, June 2–6, 2002. I was honored to have been asked to help close what has been to me a truly exciting and informative TEMA 11. Hickey F. Selenium in human and animal nutrition. I think it would be agreed that, to date, the approaches used to determine requirements for trace elements (37), such as those indicated in Table 2, are far from ideal and in some cases quite unsatisfactory. ii) Is the formation and /or activity of one or many of the zinc-finger proteins (28) or of the 700+ genes (29) that encode these transcription factors affected early on in the development of the depletion of zinc pools; or iii) is DNA repair and replication (30) more immediately and profoundly altered and could this effect be detected and localized at the single cell level by new and modified comet assays (31)? The importance of understanding the strategy with which a cell or organism responds to external signals has also been emphasized by Voit (44). Mechanisms of chromium toxicity, carcinogenicity and allergenicity: Review of the literature from 1985 to 2000. Trace element micronutrients such as iron, copper, and zinc are essential for the survival of humans, plants, and pathogens, and thus occupy an important intersection of biology and medicine. See more. N Z Vet J 1968;16:3-17. To be fully successful in this context will require the elaboration and strong support of a major interdisciplinary enterprise, which is really what nutrition science is all about in my opinion. Although these elements account for only 0.02% of the total body weight, they play signi・…ant roles, e.g., as active centers of enzymes or as trace bioactive substances. The sensor contains a release tag, which upon the action of an enzyme in a metabolic pathway liberates the release tag. Kienlen J. 2019; 53: 84, Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry.

Another reason might be that we all easily connect via the small world of scientific networks (11) that tie us together in the different domains of nutritional science. Together with the aid of informatic tools, this technology- and data-rich approach could be a new basis for exploring the consequences of altered trace element status and function and for identifying underlying mechanisms. Inorganic Chemistry. These are deceptively complex issues that require an answer if diets are to be optimized with respect to trace element content and balance. Watts DL.

(, Burke, W., Imperatore, G. & Reyes, M. (, Coussens, L. M., Fingleton, B. Additionally, in terms of deficiencies we need to ask, for example, which of the multiple functions of zinc (e.g., 25) and/or mechanisms that account for the essentiality of zinc in the animal organism are more or less vulnerable to a change in the availability of this element.
