Dietary antioxidants as a source of hydrogen peroxide
PublicationStudies of 54 antioxidants revealed that 27 of them, mainly polyphenols, generated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) when added to Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM), other media used for culture of mammalian and yeast cells and phosphate-buffered saline. The most active antioxidants were: propyl gallate (PG), (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and quercetin (Q). Chelex treatment and iron chelators decreased H2O2 generation suggesting...

Mercury content in beetroot and beetroot-based dietary supplements
PublicationTotal mercury (THg) concentrations in fifty-four beetroot-based DSs and seven lots of conventional and organic beetroots (divided into unpeeled, peeled, and skins) were determined by direct thermal decomposition-gold amalgamation cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry. The analytical procedure was optimised and validated. The recovery (%) for Hg was 101.9 and 92.73 in BCR-463 and DOLT 4, respectively. The intermediate precision...

Estimation of smokers' exposure to mercury from combustible tobacco products, based on the approach used in food consumers’ exposure estimation
PublicationSmoking has been known to mankind for centuries, but it is only in recent decades that much attention has been paid to the harmfulness of this habit. Mercury inhalation is particularly dangerous in this respect and smoking creates extremely favorable conditions for the emission and targeted delivery of this element into the lungs. Despite this fact, a lack of a clear method for estimating the exposure of tobacco consumers to mercury...

Formaldehyde in Human Saliva as an Indication of Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure
PublicationSkład środowiskowego dymu tytoniowego zależy przede wszystkim od stosowanej odmiany tytoniu oraz różnorodnych dodatków wprowadzanych do tytoniu na etapie produkcji papierosów. Podczas palenia tytoniu węglowodany ulegają złożonym przemianom, w wyniku których powstają toksyczne składniki środowiskowego dymu tytoniowego, w szczególności aldehydy (formaldehyd). Celem badań było uzyskanie informacji o poziomie zawartości formaldehydu...
