It occurs as elemental mercury, inorganic mercury, and organic mercury, each with distinct toxicokinetics and target organs. Human exposure arises mainly from fish and seafood consumption. Additional important sources include dental amalgam restorations, occupational settings, mercury-containing skin-lightening cosmetics, artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), and environmental remobilization of Hg naturally stored in soils and sediments through erosion, flooding dynamics, biomass burning, and soil mobility processes, especially in tropical regions such as the Amazon Basin. This is a narrative review of the scientific literature published from January 1, 2000 to June 15, 2026 on Hg concentrations measured in human blood and other biological tissues. Background blood Hg concentrations in general populations are commonly below 1-3 µg/L, while values exceeding 5 µg/L are uncommon in unexposed populations and may approach biomonitoring guidance thresholds. NHANES data show a progressive decline in blood Hg among women of reproductive age. Markedly elevated levels are consistently reported in high-fish-consuming coastal and Arctic Indigenous communities, ASGM workers, users of mercury-containing skin-lightening products, and individuals with extensive amalgam restorations. Mercury accumulates in the kidney cortex (inorganic Hg) and brain (inorganic and organic forms), with concentrations that may persist long after exposure cessation. Cardiovascular and renal effects of chronic Hg exposure are increasingly documented, complementing neurotoxicological evidence that remains most firmly established at high-level exposures, such as Minamata disease and occupational poisoning, whereas associations reported at typical environmental exposure levels are largely statistical rather than indicative of overt clinical neurotoxicity. A recurring pattern across the reviewed literature is that biomarker concentrations and temporal trends differ markedly between high-income and low- and middle-income countries, with declining exposure and denser monitoring coverage in the former contrasting with persistently elevated levels and sparse surveillance data in the latter, a gap directly relevant to evaluating the effectiveness of the Minamata Convention under its Article 22. Continued biomonitoring, strict regulatory enforcement, and full implementation of the Minamata Convention are essential to protect vulnerable populations worldwide.</p>","PeriodicalId":8917,"journal":{"name":"Biological Trace Element Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149007724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase through December 2025 for observational studies comparing Cd/Hg concentrations between women with PCOS and controls. Quality was assessed via the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale; pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) were calculated using random-effects models. Eleven studies (1,960 cases; 2,696 controls) were included. Women with PCOS exhibited significantly higher cadmium (SMD = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.09-0.75; I²=95.6%) and mercury (SMD = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.23-0.91; I²=95.8%) concentrations than controls.

Meta-regression for mercury identified biological matrix (p = 0.002) and geographical location (p = 0.026) as significant moderators; bubble plots confirmed attenuation of the Hg-PCOS association when shifting from serum to whole blood or urine. No significant predictors explained cadmium's heterogeneity, suggesting unmeasured individual factors. This meta-analysis provides quantitative evidence linking Cd and Hg exposure to PCOS.

Current evidence reveals a strong and consistent association across studies. Epidemiological data demonstrate that lower levels of various selenium biomarkers, including serum/plasma selenium, whole blood selenium, the selenium transport protein SELENOP, and dietary selenium intake, are significantly associated with poorer muscle outcomes, such as decreased grip strength, reduced muscle mass, and a higher prevalence of sarcopenia, following a dose-response pattern. A clinical study further confirms significantly lower serum selenium levels and glutathione peroxidase activity in patients with sarcopenia, linking elevated muscle oxidative stress to depleted selenium status. In animal models, sarcopenia is associated with reduced muscle selenium content, whereas selenium supplementation effectively prevents this decline and attenuates muscle atrophy and weakness. The underlying protective mechanisms are primarily mediated through specific selenoproteins. GPX4 preserves mitochondrial function and muscle mass by detoxifying lipid peroxides, suppressing inflammation, and preventing ferroptosis. SELENOP, secreted by macrophages, resolves inflammation and supports muscle stem cell-mediated regeneration. SELENOW, highly expressed in skeletal muscle, maintains protein homeostasis by regulating the RAC1-mTOR pathway to counteract atrophy. Additionally, SELENOT and SELENON are critical for maintaining intracellular calcium homeostasis, which is essential for normal muscle contraction. In conclusion, selenium deficiency constitutes a significant risk factor for sarcopenia. Ensuring adequate selenium intake supports a network of selenoproteins that combat oxidative stress, regulate inflammation, promote muscle regeneration, and maintain protein and calcium homeostasis, underscoring its importance in nutritional strategies for preserving muscle health in aging populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":8917,"journal":{"name":"Biological Trace Element Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149001247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metformin, boric acid (BA), and lithium chloride (LiCl) have been reported to exert anticancer properties through diverse molecular mechanisms; however, their combined effects on HCC cells remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, we investigated the effects of metformin, BA, and LiCl, alone and in combination, on cell viability, migration, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells. Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, while cell migration was evaluated by wound healing analysis. Oxidative stress status was examined through catalase (CAT) activity (Aebi method) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels measured by ELISA. Inflammatory responses were assessed by determining IL-17 and NF-κB p105 levels. Apoptotic activity was evaluated via immunocytochemical analysis of caspase-3 and caspase-9 expression. Our results demonstrated that metformin, BA, and LiCl significantly reduced HepG2 cell viability and migration in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. These effects were accompanied by marked alterations in antioxidant enzyme activity, suppression of IL-17 and NF-κB signaling, and robust activation of intrinsic apoptotic pathways, as evidenced by increased caspase-3 and caspase-9 immunoreactivity. Notably, combinatorial treatments, particularly metformin with LiCl, exerted more pronounced antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects than monotherapies. Collectively, these findings suggest that metformin, BA, and LiCl modulate oxidative stress, inflammatory signaling, and apoptosis in HepG2 cells, supporting their potential utility as complementary agents in HCC treatment strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":8917,"journal":{"name":"Biological Trace Element Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148987715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the effects of copper sulfate (CuSO₄) on myogenic differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle-derived cells (BSMC) and the underlying molecular mechanisms. BSMC were isolated from the longissimus thoracis muscle of three 30-month-old crossbred steers, with each steer defined as an independent experimental unit corresponding to a separate biological replicate (n = 3). Based on cell viability, CuSO₄ was used at 0, 0.1, 1, and 10 µM. All cell samples were harvested at differentiation day 6 (D6). The 0.1 µM CuSO₄ treatment during cell growth significantly promoted D6 myotube formation (P = 0.049), and upregulated mRNA and protein expression of myogenic differentiation 1 (MyoD) (P = 0.044, P = 0.030), as well as protein expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) (P = 0.037) and β-catenin (P = 0.050). During differentiation, 1 µM CuSO₄ significantly facilitated D6 myotube formation (P = 0.0004), increased myogenic factor 5(Myf5) mRNA and protein expression (P = 0.030, P = 0.006), and elevated HIF-1α (P = 0.025) and β-catenin (P = 0.004) protein levels, whereas Wnt10b protein expression remained unaltered (P = 0.930).

In conclusion, copper modulates BSMC myogenic differentiation via the HIF-1α/β-catenin axis by enhancing β-catenin protein stability independent of Wnt10b transcription. HIF-1α acts upstream to drive β-catenin, and a reciprocal regulatory relationship may exist in which β-catenin in turn helps sustain HIF-1α abundance, thereby supporting cascade signaling and downstream myogenic transcription.
