“…This mineralisation procedure requires little time, prevents losses of analytes and minimises contaminations (Krachler et al, 1996;Krachler et al, 1998b). The colourless, homogeneous digests had to be diluted with high-purity water to reduce the concentration (Minoia et al, 1990;Caroli et al, 1994). b no reliable reference range available.…”

Objective: To investigate the trace element transfer from the mother to the newborn. Design: The concentrations of the eight essential elements calcium (Ca), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), tin (Sn), and zinc (Zn), and of the non-essential and toxic elements barium (Ba), beryllium (Be), bismuth (Bi), cadmium (Cd), cesium (Cs), lanthanum (La), lithium (Li), lead (Pb), rubidium (Rb), antimony (Sb), strontium (Sr), and thallium (Tl) were determined in umbilical cord (n 29) and corresponding maternal sera (n 29) as well as in colostrum (n 27). Results: Umbilical cord serum concentrations of Ca, Mn, and Zn were 120%, 150%, and 148% of the maternal value, respectively. Maternal sera had twice the Cu concentrations found in healthy adults and ®ve-times higher Cu than umbilical cord sera. Concentration ratios colostrumamaternal serum and colostrumaumbilical cord serum were approximately one for Co, 1.4 for Mg, two for Ca, Mn, and Sn, ®ve for Cu (maternal serum), eight for Mo, and ten for Zn. Concentrations of the toxic elements Cd and Pb decreased in the order colostrum (Pb 2.6 mgaL; Cd 0.6 mgaL), maternal sera (0.8 mgaL; 0.3 mgaL), umbilical cord sera (0.4 mgaL; 0.2 mgaL). Maternal serum Ba and Rb was 182% and 66% of the umbilical cord value. For Sr and Li, an almost perfect correlation between umbilical cord and maternal sera was found. For Ba, Co, Cu, Mn, Zn none, and for Ca, Cs, Mn, Mo, Rb only weak positive correlations between these two compartments could be established. Conclusions:The results of this study indicate that an active transport mechanism for the transport of Ca, Mn, Rb, and Zn from the mother to the newborn exists, whereas Cs, Li, and Sr follow concentration gradients. As regards Cu, the placenta showed to have a blocking effect on the transfer from the mother to the baby.

“…164, 0.112, 0.166, 0.219, and 0.085 mg/L, respectively. In this study, it was estimated that beverages contributed 34% to the estimated weekly total dietary intake of 9 mg of boron (Minoia et al 1994). Red and white Australian wine samples that were analyzed contained boron concentrations of approximately 2.5 mg/L (Cozzolino et al 2008).…”

“…Schwarz and colleagues described regular tea drinkers as people with a generally healthy lifestyle [Schwarz et al1994]. However, harmful effects of 'overconsumption' of green tea cannot be ruled out and could be due to two main factors: caffeine content, and the presence of aluminum [Bruneton, 2001;Minoia et al 1994]. Due to their relatively low absorption, rapid metabolism and elimination from the body, consumption of large amounts of flavonols is well tolerated by humans.…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative joint disease that has a major impact on joint function and quality of life. Nutraceuticals and dietary supplements derived from herbs have long been used in traditional medicine and there is considerable evidence that nutraceuticals may play an important role in inflammation and joint destruction in OA. We review the biological effects of some medicinal fruits and herbs -pomegranate, green tea, cat's claw, devil's claw, ginger, Indian olibaum, turmeric and ananas -in an attempt to understand the pivotal molecular targets involved in inflammation and the joint destruction process and to summarize their toxicities and efficacy for OA management. So far there is insufficient reliable evidence on the effectiveness of ginger, turmeric and ananas. Pomegranate and green tea only have preclinical evidence of efficacy due to the lack of clinical data. In vivo and clinical studies are required to understand their targets and efficacy in OA. Limited in vitro and in vivo evidence is available for cat's claw and Indian olibaum. More extensive studies are required before long-term controlled trials of whole cat's claw and Indian olibaum extracts, or isolated active compounds, are carried out in patients with OA to determine their long-term efficacy and safety. Devil's claw has not been rigorously tested to determine its antiarthritic potential in in vitro and in vivo models. There is strong clinical evidence of the effectiveness of devil's claw in pain reduction. However, high-quality clinical trials are needed to determine its effectiveness. No serious side effects have been reported for any fruits and herbs. Overall, these studies identify and support the use of nutraceuticals to provide symptomatic relief to patients with OA and to be used as adjunct therapy for OA management. More high-quality trials are needed to provide definitive answers to questions related to their efficacy and safety for OA prevention and/or treatment.
