Deposition of Heavy Metals in Patients with Deep Venous Thrombosis and Healthy Individuals: A Case-Control Study with Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopic Analysis of Nail Edges.. Background : Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases and is especially prevalent in areas with environmental pollution. Bioaccumulation of toxic heavy metals may lead to deterioration of homeostasis with cellular change, endothelial dysfunction, DNA impairment and cellular signaling. The reason for this is usually the accumulation of thrombogenic toxins in the body as a result of long-term exposure or a lack of regulatory gene expression. In this study, we aimed to measure the…

A Pilot Study of Salmon Protein Hydrolysate (ProGo<sup>®</sup>) Supplementation to Assess Its Impact on Hematologic, Integumentary and Metabolic Health.. Background: Healthy ageing depends on the maintenance of several interconnected biological processes including adequate oxygen-carrying capacity, control of systemic inflammation, and preservation of lean body mass. ProGo ® is a salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH) with prior evidence of benefits on iron metabolism, inflammation, and metabolic health. Methods : This randomized, double-blind, active-controlled pilot study examined whether 56 days of daily ProGo ® supplementation could enhance key biological drivers of healthy ageing…

Iron deficiency, or sideropenia, is the state in which a body lacks enough iron to supply its needs. Iron is present in all cells in the human body and has several vital functions, such as carrying oxygen to the tissues from the lungs as a key component of the hemoglobin protein, acting as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and facilitating oxygen enzyme reactions in various tissues. Too little iron can interfere with these vital functions and lead to morbidity and death. Total body iron averages approximately 3.8 g in men and 2.3 g in women. In blood plasma, iron is carried tightly bound to the protein transferrin. Several mechanisms control iron…

The human body is composed of many different types of cells that together create tissues and subsequently organs and then organ systems. The external human body consists of a head, hair, neck, torso (which includes the thorax and abdomen), genitals, arms, hands, legs, and feet. The internal human body includes organs, teeth, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels and blood, lymphatic vessels and lymph. The study of the human body includes anatomy, physiology, histology, and embryology. The body varies anatomically in known ways. Physiology focuses on the systems and organs of the human body and their functions. Many systems and mechanisms interact in order to maintain homeostasis…
