Association of Trace Elements with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Women—A Case-Control Study by Tinkara Srnovršnik, Bojana Pinter, Milena Horvat, Janja Snoj Tratnik, Ingrid Falnoga, Darja Mazej, Ivan Verdenik, Irma Virant-Klun

“…<b>Results:</b> In women with PCOS, lower Mo levels in whole blood (<i>p</i> = 0.024) and serum (<i>p</i> = 0.011) and higher serum Cu levels (<i>p</i> = 0.026) were detected when compared to healthy controls. Results of this study show that amendments in Cu and Mo levels might be related to altered kidney and liver function and disrupted hormonal balance in PCOS women. …”

Potential physiological mechanisms behind variation in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to biosynthesize EPA and DHA when reared on plant oil replacement feeds by Ken Overturf, Jason Abernathy, Dietmar Kültz, Jacob Bledsoe, Shawn Narum, Thomas Welker

“…The omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3), are of primary concern as they provide significant health benefits such as reducing inflammation and improving heart and health function. However, the DHA; 22:6n-3 and EPA; 20:5n-3 available for aquaculture feeds is primarily provided by fish oil which is already limited in availability and expensive, and dietary lipids are consistently being replaced with oil sourced from plants. …”
