“…In sick animals, the respective values were 10.95 and 1.86 mg∙kg −1 (Frank et al 2000). Although median values of cadmium concentrations from our study (7.58 mg kg −1 in the kidneys and 1.10 mg kg −1 in liver) were similar to those obtained from analyses of material collected from healthy individuals in Sweden, results of the previous study suggest that animals from north-eastern Poland may also be threatened by primary copper deficiency (Skibniewski et al 2016). …”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the cadmium and zinc content in the kidneys and liver of moose from northeastern Poland. Animals were divided with respect to their age. The mean concentration of cadmium in the kidneys of moose studied was 11.31 mg kg −1 , while in the liver it amounted to 2.68 mg kg −1 . Age had a significant effect on the content of cadmium in both organs. In the muscles of most animals studied, the cadmium concentrations were below the detection limit. Elevated concentrations were found in three individuals only. Older animals had over six times higher concentrations of cadmium in both kidneys and liver than younger individuals. The cadmium content in kidneys increased with animals' age while no such relationship was found for zinc. Although older animals had higher mean concentrations of zinc in kidneys, liver, and muscles, the two age groups did not differ significantly. The mean concentration of zinc in the kidneys of moose studied was 38.83 mg kg −1 , while in the liver it amounted to 29.03 mg kg −1 . The cadmium concentration in the kidneys was significantly correlated with the cadmium concentration in the liver (r = 0.53, p ≤ 0.01) and with the zinc concentration in the kidneys (r = 0.52, p ≤ 0.01). The data obtained within study correspond with analyses results of the organs of healthy moose in Sweden.

“…Copper is also believed to play a role in the formation collagen in the body, helps in iron absorption, and also plays a role in the production of body energy [12]. Most copper in the body is found in the skeletal muscle, heart, liver, kidneys and brain [13], with the possibility of too much and too little copper affecting how the brain works [12]. According to report by Smith et al, [14]; Glew et al, [15]; Barminas et al, [16]; Lockett et al, [17], the amount of copper in the leaves of baobab plants ranges from 0.80 to 1.60 mg/Kg and this supports the findings from this research which shows the amount of copper in the leaves of this plant to be 1.60 mg/Kg.…”

In tropical Africa, leafy vegetables are traditionally cooked and eaten as relish together with a starchy staple food. Vegetables usually differ according to their type and nutritive values. In this research the Cu, Zn and Fe contents of five leafy vegetables (African spinach (Amaranthus hybridus), baobab (Adansonia digitata), bitter-leaf (Vernonia amygdalina), jute (Corchorus olitorius) and sesame leaf (Sesamum indicum)) were investigated using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and the results were analyzed. The levels of Cu in the leaves of African spinach, baobab, bitter-leaf, sesame leaf and jute were averagely found be 1.60 mg/Kg, 1.60 mg/Kg, 1.90 mg/Kg, 2.00 mg/Kg and 1.70 mg/Kg respectively; while the Zn levels were averagely found be 1.20 mg/Kg, 0.70 mg/Kg, 0.50 mg/Kg, 1.60 mg/Kg and 0.90 mg/Kg respectively; and the Fe levels were averagely found be 246.12 mg/Kg, 170.23 mg/Kg, 218.10 mg/Kg, 166.76 mg/Kg and 272.80 mg/Kg respectively. The results were then compared to, and found to be within the FAO/WHO recommended values for the daily human intake. This indicates that these vegetables could be good sources and supplements for the elements analyzed.

“…Because of that, the results obtained can be compared only with the data concerning other free-living species and domestic ruminants. With the exception of two works by Skibniewski et al (2016Skibniewski et al ( , 2017 the content of heavy and biogenic metals in the parenchymatous organs of moose from Poland has not been studied.…”

Streszczenie. Celem badań była ocena zawartości metali ciężkich: kadmu (Cd), ołowiu (Pb) oraz mikroelementów: miedzi (Cu), cynku (Zn) i molibdenu (Mo) w śledzionie łosi pochodzących z północno-wschodniej Polski. Zwierzęta zostały podzielone na dwie grupy wiekowe (jedna obejmowała osobniki młodociane w wieku do dwóch lat, druga -zwierzęta powyżej dwóch lat). Zawartość pierwiastków w zebranych próbkach oznaczono za pomocą metody spektrometrii mas z plazmą wzbudzoną indukcyjnie (ICP-MS). Średnia zawartość metali w badanych narządach wynosiła odpowiednio: 2,28, 0,10, 8,36, 25,29 i 0,22 mg • kg -1 świeżej masy. Większe wartości odnotowano u osobników starszych, jednak nie stwierdzono istotnych różnic statycznych między grupami. Analizując relacje między wybranymi pierwiastkami, stwierdzono istotne statystycznie korelacje między cynkiem a molibdenem (r = 0,58), kadmem a miedzią (r = 0,56) oraz kadmem a molibdenem (r = 0,55). Zawartość kadmu, ołowiu, miedzi, cynku i molibdenu w śledzionie badanych łosi była większa u osobników starszych. Pomimo że nie ma wartości referencyjnych dotyczących zawartości kadmu i ołowiu w śledzionie łosi, odnotowane wartości należy traktować jako duże, ponieważ odpowiadają one wartościom rejestrowanym u innych gatunków przeżuwaczy bytujących w rejonach uprzemysłowionych. Zjawisko to wynika z obecności wśród badanych zwierząt niewielkiej liczby starszych osobników, u których odnotowano duże zawartości wymienionych metali.
