Surface contamination artificially elevates initial sweat mineral concentrations.
Matthew R. Ely,Robert W. Kenefick,Samuel N. Cheuvront,Troy D. Chinevere,Craig Lacher,Henry C. Lukaski,Scott J. Montain +6 more
TL;DR: Several sweat mineral element concentrations decline with serial sampling, and initial arm bag sweat mineral concentrations were greater than those in the sweat pouch, and [Ca], [Cu], [Mg], and [Zn] declined 26-76% from initial to the subsequent samples, becoming similar to sweat pouch.

Evaluation of the Megaduct sweat collector for mineral analysis.
Matthew R. Ely,Brett R. Ely,Troy D. Chinevere,Craig Lacher,Henry C. Lukaski,Samuel N. Cheuvront +5 more
TL;DR: TheMegaduct sweat collector appears to avoid skin encapsulation and hidromeiosis, and captures sweat with similar mineral concentrations as reported in the literature for pouches, however, the filling time of the Megaduct may not capture possible changes in sweat mineral concentrations that are documented to occur in as little as 15 to 30 min.

Selenium levels in human breast carcinoma tissue are associated with a common polymorphism in the gene for SELENOP (Selenoprotein P)
Dede N. Ekoue,Sofia Zaichick,Klara Valyi-Nagy,Matthew J. Picklo,Craig Lacher,Kent Hoskins,Michael A. Warso,Marcelo G. Bonini,Alan M. Diamond +8 more
TL;DR: These studies were the first to examine the relationship between selenium levels, genotypes and protein levels in human tissues and provide evidence for the need to obtain data about the effects of selenum in breast cancer by examining samples from that particular tissue type.

The effect of heat acclimation on sweat microminerals: artifact of surface contamination
Matthew R. Ely,Robert W. Kenefick,Samuel N. Cheuvront,Troy D. Chinevere,Craig Lacher,Henry C. Lukaski,Scott J. Montain +6 more
TL;DR: Heat acclimation does not confer reductions in sweat Ca, Cu, Mg, or Zn when the skin surface is not cleaned, mineral residue inflates initial sweat mineral concentrations.
