Application

  • Assessment of trace element and mineral levels in students from Turkmenistan: This study compared the trace element and mineral profiles in hair samples from students in Turkmenistan with those from Iran and Russia, highlighting the utility of human hair as a biomarker in environmental exposure and nutritional status studies (Kirichuk et al., 2024).
  • Toxicological profile and potential health concerns in brick kiln workers: Research focused on metals and trace elements exposure in hair samples from brick kiln workers in Lahore, Pakistan, underlining human hair′s role in assessing occupational exposure and health risks (Saeed et al., 2024).
  • Iron, Copper, and Magnesium Concentration in Hair and Risk of Esophageal Cancer: A nested case-control study utilized hair samples to explore the relationship between trace elements and the risk of developing esophageal cancer, reinforcing the diagnostic potential of hair mineral analysis in clinical research (Hashemian et al., 2023).
  • Association of serum and hair antioxidant minerals with oxidative stress markers: This cross-sectional study examined the correlation between hair and serum antioxidant mineral levels and oxidative stress in healthy adults, demonstrating hair′s effectiveness as a biomarker for physiological and nutritional analysis (Kang et al., 2024).
