Assessing the Lability and Environmental Mobility of Organically Bound Copper by Stable Isotope Dilution (2022)
Journal Article
Marzouk, E. R., Donner, E., von der Kammer, F., Bailey, E. H., Shetaya, W. H., Young, S. D., & Lombi, E. (2022). Assessing the Lability and Environmental Mobility of Organically Bound Copper by Stable Isotope Dilution. Environmental Science and Technology, 56(9), 5580-5589. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.2c00964

The environmental mobility of Cu and therefore its potential toxicity are closely linked to its attachment to natural organic matter (NOM). Geochemical models assume full lability of metals bound to NOM, especially under strong oxidizing conditions,...

The Impact of Consuming Zinc-Biofortified Wheat Flour on Haematological Indices of Zinc and Iron Status in Adolescent Girls in Rural Pakistan: A Cluster-Randomised, Double-Blind, Controlled Effectiveness Trial. Nutrients, 14(8), Article 1657. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu14081657

Biofortification of wheat is potentially a sustainable strategy to improve zinc intake; however, evidence of its effectiveness is needed. A household-based, double-blind, cluster-randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in rural Pakistan. The...

Mineral micronutrient status and spatial distribution among the Ethiopian population (2022)
Journal Article
Belay, A., Gashu, D., Joy, E. J., Lark, R. M., Chagumaira, C., Zerfu, D., Ander, E. L., Young, S. D., Bailey, E. H., & Broadley, M. R. (2022). Mineral micronutrient status and spatial distribution among the Ethiopian population. British Journal of Nutrition, https://doi.org/10.1017/s0007114522000319

Multiple micronutrient deficiencies are widespread in Ethiopia. However, the distribution of selenium and zinc deficiency risks has previously shown evidence of spatially dependent variability, warranting the need to explore this aspect for wider mic...

Frontiers in Nutrition, 8, Article 809783. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2021.809783

A new variety of zinc biofortified wheat (Zincol-2016) was released in Pakistan in 2016. The primary aim of this study was to examine the effects of consuming Zincol-2016 wheat flour on biochemical and functional markers of zinc status in a populatio...

Frontiers in Nutrition, 8, Article 788096. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2021.788096

Background: Selenium deficiency is widespread in the Malawi population. The selenium concentration in maize, the staple food crop of Malawi, can be increased by applying selenium-enriched fertilizers. It is unknown whether this strategy, called agron...
