Das essenzielle Spurenelement Zink. Ein Metall in Biologie und Medizin
Hajo Haase,Lothar Rink +1 more
TL;DR: The human body contains 2-3 grams of the essential trace element zinc, and uptake as well as excretion underlies a tight control as mentioned in this paper, which is important for the development and function of the central nervous system, the immune defense, and the production of insulin.

Effects of a short-term reduction in brain serotonin synthesis on the availability of the soluble leptin receptor in healthy women.
Florian D. Zepf,V. L. S. Dingerkus,K. Helmbold,Sarah Bubenzer-Busch,C.S. Biskup,Beate Herpertz-Dahlmann,Michael Schaab,Jürgen Kratzsch,Albrecht Eisert,Lothar Rink,Ulrich Hagenah,T. J. Gaber +11 more
TL;DR: Modelling of the effects of reduced brain 5-HT synthesis due to acute tryptophan depletion on levels of soluble leptin receptor (sOb-R), the main high-affinity leptin binding protein, in healthy adults using an exploratory approach found women, but not men, showed reduced s Ob-R concentrations after ATD administration.

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) levels finally become stable with increasing age as revealed by using an ELISA corresponding to the bioactivity
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IFN-γ is a more sensitive parameter for the actual status of the immune system, since its titer shows alterations faster than leukocyte subtyping.

Prevalence of low dietary zinc intake in women and pregnant women in Ireland
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the zinc intake and bioavailability of over 250 pregnant and non-pregnant women based in Ireland, in order to evaluate the dietary inadequacy of zinc and concluded that low zinc intake may be prevalent in as much as 87% of women, including 47% of pregnant women.

TL;DR: The ready-to-use cryo-assay method for the bioanalytical screening of foodstuffs in control laboratories without cell-culture facilities has successfully proven to be accurate, far quicker and more cost effective than current methods.
