“…The total protein was also measured in this study and the results indicated that there was a significant decrease in its concentration of it in OCPs users compared with non-users. The results was corresponding with other reporters which noted that the total protein concentration was decreased in women who used hormonal contraceptive (24) .These studies indicate that the intake of PCPs could cause metabolic changes in carbohydrate, protein and lipid macromolecules (21) .…”

The present study were aimed to determine the level of some biochemical parameters: (alkaline phosphatase ALP, creatine kinase CK, aspartate aminotranferase AST, urea, total bilirubin, albumin and total protein) in serum of 47 healthy women who took oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) during the period 1 to 3years. Their ages ranged between 20-45 years. They were attending to Al-Khanssa Family Planning Center in Mosul. The study also aimed to compare the results with those of another 30 healthy women who did not use any hormonal contraceptive. Effect of Oral Contraceptive on some Serum Biochemical Parameters 190 They were matched for age and weight with the OCPs user groups. Results obtained in this study showed a significant decrease in the activities of ALP, CK, AST, albumin and total protein, while the uric acid value was significantly increased, and no significant differences in the concentration of urea and total bilirubin in OCPs user group compared to control group.

“…Studies from Mexico [49], Egypt [50], Poland [10], Iran [51], Brazil [52], Sweden [53], Greece [54], and Nigeria [55] reported Pb levels in breast milk levels as 460, 101, 6.3, 14.7, 0.260, 1.5, 0.48, and 8.7 μg/l, respectively. Mean level of Cd found in our study was 0.45 ± 0.23 ppb (μg/l).…”

Breast milk contributes towards optimal nutrition for infants. However, studies showed that it can also contain different toxins and heavy metals, which reduce its health benefits. The aim of this study is to determine the level of contaminants such as aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), Pb, Cd, As, and Hg in breast milk samples from Famagusta, Cyprus. Correlations between moldy food consumption, smoking habits of the mothers, and contaminant levels in breast milk were also investigated. Breast milk samples from 50 lactating mothers in rural and urban areas of Famagusta District were analyzed for AFM1 by ELISA. Eighty percent of them were found to be contaminated with AFM1 with the mean measurement of 7.84 ± 1.72 ng/l. Socio-demographic status, moldy food consumption habits, and smoking status do not have any effect on the AFM1 levels observed in breast milk. Heavy metal levels in breast milk were examined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and the mean measurements were1.19 ± 1.53 ppm for Pb, 0.73 ± 0.58 ppm for As, 0 ± 0.20 ppm for Hg, and 0.45 ± 0.23 ppm for Cd. This study indicates that the levels of these contaminants in breast milk samples obtained in Famagusta District are well within the acceptable levels. However, the presence of AFM1 and heavy metals still may pose risks for infant health.

“…(2011) measured the concentration of heavy metals in breast milk of Nigerian lactating women using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry, where found that the average Zn, Pb, Cd, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, and Se was 67.4 ppm, 0.828 ppm, 0.009 ppm, 0.828 ppm, 0.9278 ppm, 0.9307 ppm, 0.8838 ppm, and 0.909 ppm, respectively. It concluded that there are no significant changes in the averages of Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, and Se in the milk of Nigerian mother's groups compared with control groups [ 52 ].

Background The current study determines the relationship between heavy metals and alpha particles emission rates in milk and blood of lactating women in Diwanyah, Iraq. Methods Heavy metals and alpha particle emission rates have been measured using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and a Nuclear Track Detector. Results The results show that Pb, Cd, and Cu in milk are 0.2239 ± 0.0007 ppm, 0.0156 ± 0.0001 ppm, and 0.1811 ± 0.0006 ppm, respectively. Pb, Cd, and Cu in the blood were 0.0898 ± 0.0008 ppm, 0.0432 ± 0.0010 ppm, and 0.1729 ± 0.0004 ppm, respectively. The highest alpha particle emission rate was found to be in age interval from 23 y to 28 y in milk, while the highest alpha particle emission rate was found to be in the age interval from 35 y to 40 y Conclusions This study concludes that no statistical significance between Pb, Cd, Cu and Eα in milk and blood at level 0.01. The following order of bioavailability was found with heavy metals Cu < Pb < Cd.
