COPPER AND ZINC CONTENT IN WILD GAME SHOT WITH LEAD OR NON-LEAD AMMUNITION - IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSUMER HEALTH PROTECTION.

Copper and zinc content in wild game shot with lead or non-lead ammunition - implications for consumer health protection.

The Lug Nuts aim of this study was to examine the contamination of game meat with copper and zinc and establish whether the use of alternative (non-lead) ammunition can lead to higher or unsafe levels of copper and zinc in the meat of roe deer, wild boar and red deer.The research project "Safety of game meat obtained through hunting" (LEMISI) was c

A review of recent research progress on the effect of external influences on tropical cyclone intensity change

Over the past four years, significant research has advanced our understanding of how external factors influence tropical cyclone (TC) intensity changes.Research on air-sea interactions shows that increasing the moisture disequilibrium is a very effective way to increase surface heat fluxes and that ocean salinity-stratification plays a non-negligib

Acute vs. Chronic vs. Cyclic Hypoxia: Their Differential Dynamics, Molecular Mechanisms, and Effects on Tumor Progression

Hypoxia has been shown to increase the aggressiveness and severity of tumor progression.Along with chronic and acute hypoxic regions, solid tumors contain regions of cycling hypoxia (also called intermittent hypoxia or IH).Cyclic hypoxia is mimicked in vitro and in vivo by periodic exposure to cycles of hypoxia and reoxygenation (H−R cycles).
