“…At the same time, a recent study failed to reveal gender differences in hair Se content in healthy population and persons with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (Pan and Huang 2013). Our research data conform to the results of our previous study indicating higher hair V levels in male students in comparison to females (Zaitseva et al 2015). The observed gender difference in Cr values is caused by higher intake of the metal in men (Anderson and Kozlovsky 1985).…”

Appropriate reference values of hair trace element content are required for correct interpretation of biomonitoring data. The primary objective of the current study was to estimate the reference values of selected essential trace elements in hair of adult Russian population. Involved in current investigation were 7256 occupationally non-exposed adults aged from 20 to 60 years and living in the European part of Russia. Occipital hair essential metal and metalloid (Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, V, Zn) content was estimated using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The reference ranges were calculated in accordance with the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) recommendations. Women were characterized by 55, 18, 58, and 7% higher values of hair Co, Cu, Mn, and Zn content as compared to the values observed in men. At the same time, hair Cr, Fe, Se, and V concentration in men significantly exceeded the respective female values by 65, 13, 20, and 56%. Consequently, the reference ranges of essential hair trace elements content should be separately calculated for both men and women. The obtained reference ranges for hair Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, V, and Zn in men were 0.11-0.67, 0.007-0.045, 10.4-22.6, 11.1-40.5, 0.24-1.05, 0.089-0.480, 0.014-0.083, and 125.7-262.8 μg/g, respectively. The respective values estimated for women were 0.06-0.40, 0.011-0.085, 12.1-44.5, 8.9-25.6, 0.32-2.05, 0.094-0.504, 0.010-0.056, and 140.0-315.1 μg/g. The reference ranges for hair Co (0.07-0.50), Cr (0.009-0.073), Cu (11.8-29.2), Fe (9.6-31.5), Mn (0.29-1.76), Se (0.093-0.482), V (0.011-0.069), and Zn (134.7-301.9) content (μg/g) in the general cohort were also calculated.

Active physical exercises are associated with high body mineral demand that can cause mineral disbalances with diverse negative health outcomes. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of sport-related factors on mineral composition in young athletes. Saliva and hair samples were chosen for the analysis as reflecting immediate and more permanent mineral status, respectively.The samples were analysed by spectral methods with inductively coupled plasma for eight essential minerals: calcium (Ca), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn). The results from athletes were compared to ones from the control group of adolescent non-athletes. Different minerals demonstrated sampling specific distribution. Sport type specificity of mineral content was found. These findings can help in the process of mineral status data standardization and in training process to correct the sport-associated mineral disbalances.

“…The detection limit of Se with ICP-MS was 0.01 μg/g. Rapid, quasi-simultaneous, multielement detection capabilities, high sensitivity, and detection power have made this technique an important tool for the analysis of trace elements in biological samples [42][43][44]. All of the reagents were of analytical-reagent grade or better, provided by Sino-pharm Chemical Reagent, Beijing, China.…”

Previous studies have shown that the selenium (Se) deficiency is an important factor for the etiology of KashinBeck disease (KBD). Although KBD is presently controlled in most regions of China, it is still active in the Tibetan Plateau. The present study aimed to assess the nutritional status of selenium in school children by using the Se level in hair as a biomarker in KBD endemic areas of Lhasa in Tibet, China. Hair samples of 155 school children aged 6-15 years were collected in both KBD areas and non-KBD areas of Lhasa in 2013. The Se level in the hair samples was determined by inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The average concentration of Se in children's hair was 0.232 μg/g in KBD areas of Lhasa, which was significantly higher than the data reported decades ago. A significant difference in hair Se was observed between the boys (0.255 μg/g) and the girls (0.222 μg/g) in the studied KBD areas (P<0
