“…Data similar to ours and indicating the dependence of hair mineral composition (metabolic pool of chemical elements) of farm animals on the conditions of the biogeochemical province were obtained in other works [17][18][19][20][21]. There reports on a relationship between diet composition and the accumulation of chemical elements in body depots [22][23][24][25]. Data on the expressed link of the chemical elements metabolism with the horse's belonging to a genetically homogeneous group is in line with the results in laboratory animals [26].…”

“…Briefly, the 28 investigations were published between 2006–2018 with sample sizes ranging from 58 to 1.21 million women. There were 6 studies on POP (Eslami et al 2016; Murray et al 2018; Savitz et al 2012; 2014; Stein et al 2009; Starling et al 2014), one study on water contaminants (Carwile et al 2014), 11 investigations on air pollutants (Dadvand et al 2014; Lee et al 2013; Madsen et al 2017; Mendola et al 2016; Nahidi et al 2014; Pedersen et al 2017; Savitz et al 2015; Wang et al 2018b; Wesselink et al 2017; Wu et al 2016; Yorifuji et al 2015), 6 examining metals (Elongi Moyene et al 2016; Maduray et al 2017; Sandoval-Carrillo et al 2016; Laine et al 2015; Wang et al 2018a; Vigeh et al 2006), and 4 investigations evaluating non-persistent organic pollutants (Cantonwine et al 2016; Leclerc et al 2014; Ye et al 2017; Shaw et al 2018).…”

Preeclampsia is a medical condition specific to pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the woman’s urine, indicating kidney damage. It is one of the most serious reproductive conditions, posing substantial risks to the baby and potentially fatal for the mother. The causes of preeclampsia are largely unknown and environmental contaminants merit further investigation. The aim of this review was to determine the association between environmental chemical exposures and preeclampsia.PubMed was searched for articles examining a priori chemical exposures and preeclampsia through April 2018. Studies were included in our review if they included at least 10 cases, evaluated preeclampsia independent of gestational hypertension, and used either measured or modeled exposure assessments.Our review contained 28 investigations examining persistent organic pollutants (POP) (6 studies), drinking water contaminants (1 study), atmospheric pollutants (11 studies), metals and metalloids (6 studies), and other environmental contaminants (4 studies). There were an insufficient number of investigations on most chemicals to draw definitive conclusions, but strong evidence existed for an association between preeclampsia and cadmium (Cd). There is suggestive evidence for associations between nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM)2.5, and traffic exposure with preeclampsia.There is evidence for an association between preeclampsia and Cd but insufficient literature to evaluate many other environmental chemicals. Additional studies using repeated measures, appropriate biological matrices, and mixtures methods are needed to expand this area of research and address the limitations of previous studies.

“…Zinc has an important function in the human body participating in RNA, DNA and proteins synthesis, as well as playing a role in the stabilization of cell membranes and the skeletal system [12,13]. Zinc is a cofactor of approximately 200 enzymes, including metalloproteinases, transferases, phosphatases and oxidoreductases, and thereby contributes significantly to the immune system function and antioxidant status of the organism.…”

Selected trace elements concentrations in pregnancy and their possible role — literature review

The aim of this study was to review the role of selected trace elements in pregnancy and fetal development. Citations related to the role of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and selenium (Se) during pregnancy were searched in PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, using keywords and MeSH terms. Inadequate supply of trace elements can cause abnormalities of fetal development and predispose a child to disorders later on in life. Trace elements are the key elements of complex enzymes responsible for the modulation of the antioxidant defense system of the organism. It has been suggested that there is a correlation between reduced levels of trace elements essential for antioxidant function in the body of pregnant women, and an increased risk of developing preeclampsia. Trace elements are components of numerous regulatory enzymes and hormones essential to the division and differentiation of fetal cells and their further development. Mineral deficiencies in pregnant women can cause birth defects of the central nervous system, and growth disorders. Future research should be directed to explain the interaction between trace elements, and establish the optimum levels of macro and micronutrients supplementation, as well as determine the reference values for trace elements in the maternal serum, umbilical cord blood and amniotic fluid.
