“…Vitamins are essential nutrients that the body cannot synthesize, thus they must be provided by daily diet [64]. Moreover, minerals play a crucial role in several metabolite processes [69]. The potato is an important source of potassium (K), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), and vitamins C, B1, B6, and B9 [64,70].…”

Identification and Recovery of Valuable Bioactive Compounds from Potato Peels: A Comprehensive Review

Nowadays, the potato is one of the most cultivated and consumed food crops in the world and, in recent years, its production has experienced a sharp increase. Its industrial processing generates several by-products that are wasted and cause economic and environmental problems. Among them, potato peel stands out, representing up to 10% of the total potato residues obtained in the processing. On the other hand, these wastes, in addition to presenting antioxidant compounds, are rich in interesting chemical compounds of great value in a biorefinery model. This review summarizes the main compounds present in potato skins as well as the most used and innovative extraction methods employed for their isolation, with special emphasis on the fractions with biological activities. In addition, a sustainable biorefinery proposal focused on obtaining high added-value products with potential applications in the pharmaceutical, food, nutraceutical, or cosmetic industries is included.

“…Essential trace elements of the human body include zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), selenium (Se), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), iodine (I), manganese (Mn) and molybdenum (Mo) [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. TE as components of complexes are essential in fundamental metabolic processes such as enzymatic reactions and also play significant roles in functioning of proteins and transcriptional factors [ 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”

Essentiality of Trace Elements in Pregnancy, Fertility, and Gynecologic Cancers—A State-of-the-Art Review

et al. 2021

Gynecological neoplasms pose a serious threat to women’s health. It is estimated that in 2020, there were nearly 1.3 million new cases worldwide, from which almost 50% ended in death. The most commonly diagnosed are cervical and endometrial cancers; when it comes to infertility, it affects ~48.5 million couples worldwide and the number is continually rising. Ageing of the population, environmental factors such as dietary habits, environmental pollutants and increasing prevalence of risk factors may affect the reproductive potential in women. Therefore, in order to identify potential risk factors for these issues, attention has been drawn to trace elements. Trace mineral imbalances can be caused by a variety of causes, starting with hereditary diseases, finishing with an incorrect diet or exposure to polluted air or water. In this review, we aimed to summarize the current knowledge regarding trace elements imbalances in the case of gynecologic cancers as well as female fertility and during pregnancy.

“…Bone strength and integrity depend not only on the presence of calcium and phosphorus but also trace elements. Deficiencies in trace elements may lead to growth retardation or osteopenia and osteoporosis [14]. In bones, they have a role in the production of collagen, mineralisation and bone resorption [2,3,9].…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of prolonged every-other day (EOD) feeding on bone trace elements. Four-week old C57BL/6 female (n = 12) and male (n = 12) mice were employed in this experiment. Animals were assigned to four groups: ad libitum—AL (males and females), EOD fed (males, females). After 9 months, the mice were sacrificed. Long bones (humerus and radius) were isolated and prepared for analysis using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry to determine the Fe, Zn, Mo, Co, Cu, Mn, Cr contents. Estimation of cathepsin K expression on bone slides was performed to determine the activity of osteoclasts in bones of EOD- and AL-fed animals. Higher content of Fe in EOD-fed females compared to AL-fed females was found. In EOD-fed males, a significantly higher amount of Mo (p < 0.005) and Co (p < 0.05) in comparison to AL-fed males was noted. Gender differences in amounts of trace elements in control AL-fed males vs. females were observed. EOD feeding influences the amount of some trace elements in long bones of female and male C57BL/6 mice. However, this is not influenced by the activity of bone cells.
