Brown algal kelp species are the most efficient iodine accumulators among all living systems, with an average content of 1.0% of dry weight in Laminaria digitata, representing a ca. 30,000-fold accumulation of this element from seawater. Like other marine macroalgae
A comprehensive review is presented addressing recent trends in the speciation and determination of vanadium in environmental and biological sample matrices, including important analytical aspects such as sample clean up, pre-concentration and method development. Methodology based on both separation and
Vanadium, a dietary micronutrient, is yet to be established as an essential part of the human diet. Over the past century, several biological effects of vanadium, such as insulin-mimetic action as well as amelioration of hyperlipidemia and hypertension, have been

In the present focused review, vanadate-dependent haloperoxidases and vanadate-inhibited enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphoester bonds are addressed. In these systems, vanadate [HxVO4](3-x)(-) is covalently coordinated to the imidazolyl moiety of an active site histidine, with a geometrical arrangement

Among several metals, vanadium has emerged as an extremely potent agent with insulin-like properties. These insulin-like properties have been demonstrated in isolated cells, tissues, different animal models of type I and type II diabetes as well as a limited number
