+ | Some trace elements are altered with chronic kidney disease. Selenium, zinc, and manganese tend to be wasted, and there is growing evidence that selenium deficiency is associated with mortality on dialysis. Other trace elements accumulate, such as chromium, cobalt, lead, molybdenum, and vanadium.(({{pubmed> | ||

+ | |||
+ | Three main areas of research have been identified (//in chronic heart failure//): 1) magnesium, electrolytes and CHF; 2) the transcriptional and antioxidant effects of zinc, selenium, copper; 3) iron-deficiency anemia and CHF.(({{pubmed> | ||

+ | === Zinc === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Zinc is an essential trace element that is crucial for growth, development, | ||
+ | |||
+ | By modulating anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways, zinc supplementation is recommended for the treatment of several ailments, such as liver disease, male hypogonadism, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our results suggest that zinc deficiency is associated with the presence of prehypertension in apparently healthy subjects.(({{pubmed> | ||

+ | === Ca/Mg ratio === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ca/Mg ratio imbalance is associated with prostatic hyperplasia(({{pubmed> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ca:Mg rose from largely below 3.0 in 1994-5 to generally above or approaching 3.0 after 2000, coinciding with a sharp 2% rise in type 2 diabetes incidence and prevalence in the USA population and a 1994-2005 rise in colorectal cancer incidence among young white, non-Hispanic adult men and women in the USA.(({{pubmed> | ||

+ | Association of Selenium (Se) deficiency, an essential trace element, has been found with human diseases.(({{pubmed> | ||

+ | Review of recent progress in large-scale and systematic analyses of the relationship between selenium status or selenoproteins and several complex diseases, mainly including population-based cohort studies and meta-analyses, | ||
+ | |||

+ | Expression of some genes is changed with selenium deficiency. Consequently, | ||

+ | === Boron (trace element) === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Via its effect on steroid hormones and interaction with mineral metabolism, boron may be involved in a number of clinical conditions such as arthritis. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Experiments with boron supplementation or deprivation show that boron is involved in calcium and bone metabolism, and its effects are more marked when other nutrients (cholecalciferol, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Usual dietary boron consumption in humans is 1-2 mg/day for adults. | ||

+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | Further, unhealthy cooking methods greatly reduce the availability of boron from food. The cooking water of vegetables containing most of the minerals may be discarded during home cooking or commercial processing; phytic acid in baked goods, cereals and cooked legumes may greatly reduce availability, | ||
