“…When compared with the previously reported concentrations in cord whole blood in other countries (Table 4) [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], higher Se concentration and lower Pb concentration was noted in this study. No clear-cut threshold for Se deficiency has been established, 100 ng/g might be a candidate level because above this level correlation with glutathione peroxidase activity diminishes [30].…”

Cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and selenium (Se) concentrations in cord whole blood, sampled from 24 women at the time of delivery in a hospital in Tokyo in 2005, were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with a reaction cell. Signal enhancement caused by nonspectroscopic interference for Se was evident and the standard addition technique was essential for correcting the interference. Median concentration in cord bloods was 0.20 ng/g, 6.7 ng/g (0.67 microg/dL), and 191 ng/g for Cd, Pb and Se, respectively. Lead concentration was lower, whereas Se concentration was higher, than those reported in other countries. The trace element concentration was related to the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxin (fT4) in the neonatal blood sampled at 4-6 days postpartum. A significantly negative correlation was observed between Cd concentrations in cord blood and TSH concentration in neonatal blood. The result indicated the possible effect of in utero Cd exposure on thyroid hormone status of newborns and that Cd exposure level should be assessed as a covariate in the survey on the relationship between in utero chemicals (e.g., PCBs) exposure and thyroid hormone status.

“…This value is twice as high as breast-milk (4 ± 4 ug/1) and evaporated milk (4 ± 1 ug/1). There is very little reliable information on cadmium human milk levels in the scientific literature, and the published data vary widely from 0.1 to 19 ug/1 (Iyengar 1982, Schramel et al 1988, Parr et al 1991. The drinking water reference value suggested by World Health Organization is 3 ug/1 (WHO 1994).…”

Concentrations of 11 minerals were determined in six kinds of milk (cow's milk-based formulae, breast-milk, soya milk, bottled milk, dried milk and evaporated milk). The contents of copper, magnesium, molybdenum, aluminium, barium and nickel were higher in soya milk than in any other kinds of milk. Except for nickel in soya milk, the dietary intakes of minerals were below or close to the intake recommended by the FAO/WHO.
