It turned out that the majority of surveyed subjects were characterized by deformation of element status demonstrated by excess and deficit of the basic essential elements of different degrees of manifestation. Deficit of Co (68% of surveyed people), Mg (67%), Ca (64%), Cu (47%), K (46%), Zn (44%), I (41%), Na (33%), P (27%) and Se (24%) was typical for female subjects as well as excess of Si (28%), Zn (22%) and P (20%). Male residents were characterized by deficit of Co (81%), Ca (66%), Mg (65%), I (50%), Cu (37%), K and Na (27%) and excess of Zn (41%). In individual cases it was noted excess concentration of nominally essential and toxic elements in both examined groups. They were: A1, As, Cd, Li, Ni, Pb, Sn, V and B. While analyzing of medians of chemical concentration it was stated reliable sex-related differences (P 〈 0.05): content of Ca, Mg and Mn was higher in hair samples of women, and content of As, B, Cd, Cr, K, Li, Na, P, Pb and V, on the contrary, was higher in male samples.展开更多

Discriminant analysis of data proved that all investigated factors (farming technology, genotype and season/year) had significant effect on metabolites. Reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC-DAD, HPLC-MS) and elemental analysis methods have been adapted to quantify the major components, i.e., steroidal alkaloids, nitrite, nitrate, sugars, amino acids and micro-elements, in potato tubers. The absolute amount and changes of tuber components were influenced differentially by the technology, genotype and season in a complex manner. Any examined component, except nitrate content, was found to be significantly higher or lower consistently in relation to the production practice (organic or conventional) during the three years trials. Under the examined circumstances, no consequent positive effect of organic fanning on the total amount of anti-nutritive components, vitamins or micro- and macro-elements of potato tubers could be proven.展开更多
