“…Variation in metal concentration among the samples could have been dependent on such factors as size categories, ecological nich, trophic levels, or metabolic requirements. For example, bottom-dwelling and demersal species are known to have higher concentrations than more pelagic species, possibly due to greater exposure to contaminated sediments 13,8 . The potential toxicological impacts of contaminated seafoods can be evaluated on the basis of concentrations in whole body and flesh samples.…”

A survey for the presence of metals in various aquatic animals was conducted in 2001 and 2002 along the Gresik coast of Indonesia. The results showed that levels of almost all metals measured were lower than those recorded in aquatic animals from other regions of the world. Only levels of copper and zinc were comparable those in other reports. Levels of metals in the tissue in all the samples collected were within the range acceptable for consumption.

“…Fishes have been widely used as models to evaluate the aquatic contamination by metals (DOĞAM-SAĞLAMTIMUR and KUMBUR, 2009;KEHRIG et al, 1998;LIMA Jr et al, 2002). The concentration of contaminants, including metals, in fish tissues is commonly reported as dependant of age, feeding habits and position in the food chain (TRUCCO et al, 1990). The contaminants accumulated in the biota may be further transferred to the man through the consumption of contaminated seafood (TAVARES and CARVALHO, 1992;SANTOS-FILHO et al, 1993;METIAN et al, 1998).…”

Seven groups patients have been investigated (with 1-st and 11-nd type diabetes, their relatives of first degree of relationship, persons with disturbed glucose tolerance and healthy controls). Serums have been tested by two tests: ELISA-kit "Js/etestTM-ICA" (investigated 85 patients) and indirect immunofluorescent test (investigated 118 patients). The frequencies of JCA-positivity in the separate groups, obtained by the two methods, essentially distinguished between each other (onZv in 6.3 % of all cases is observed correlation for ICA-positivity between the two methods). The concrete ELISA-method does not show any priority compared to the indirect immunofluorescent test.
