Abstract

The intake and concentration of metals and electrolytes in our diet are believed to be affecting our general health, in particular, the proper functions of vital organs. For example, in addition to other genetic and environmental factors, consuming water with high alkalinity for a prolonged time is suspected of leading to diseases such as kidney stones. There is evidence that elemental accumulation due to excessive metal intakes would lead to organ failure. This study is an extensive investigation of metallomic distribution in Wistar Rats after they have consumed 30 different elements (including heavy metals and electrolytes) via dietary intakes throughout their lifespan (from 5 to 750 days). In this study, the distributions of these elements in various vital organs such as heart, kidney, lung, spleen, liver, pituitary, and uterus over time were analyzed. In addition, how heavy metal supplement, such as Mn, influenced the elemental accumulations inside the organs was also conducted. This study has high impact to our understanding of how the environment would affect our well beings. This study would provide insights on how our diet would affect the accumulations of unwanted elements, such as heavy metals, in our vital organs. The results may also help researchers and health practitioner to identify possible links between daily diet and associated diseases inside the vital organs.
