Zinc oxide-induced changes to sunscreen ingredient efficacy and toxicity under UV irradiation
2021 Oct Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences Ginzburg AL, Blackburn RS, Santillan C, Truong L, Tanguay RL, Hutchison JE
The presence of zinc oxide in sunscreens containing small-molecule UV-filters leads to significant photodegradation of the mixture and increased toxicity, indicating the need for caution when formulating such sunscreens.

Effects and mechanism of action of transcutaneous electrical acupuncture point stimulation in patients with abnormal semen parameters
2019 Feb Acupuncture in Medicine Yu Y, Sha SB, Zhang B, Guan Q, Liang M, Zhao LG, et al.
The present findings suggest that 2 Hz transcutaneous electrical acupuncture point stimulation (TEAS) can improve sperm count and motility in patients with abnormal semen parameters, and is associated with increases in seminal plasma zinc, neutral α-glucosidase (NAG) and fructose. The upregulation of calcium and integrin-binding protein 1 (CIB1) and downregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 b (CDK1) by TEAS may be associated with its positive effects on sperm motility and count.

2022 Acta Biomedica Dietary supplements for treatment of endometriosis: A review Yalçın Bahat P, Ayhan I, Üreyen Özdemir E, İnceboz Ümit, Oral E
Review Article
The researchers conducted a comprehensive literature review and synthesized the effects of various dietary supplements. The list of supplements includes vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, omega 3, propolis, quercetin, curcumin, N-acetylcysteine, probiotics, resveratrol, alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and epigallocatechin-3-gallate. These were studied due to their known anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-proliferative, and immune modulatory characteristics.
In terms of discussion on the results, the findings from the comprehensive literature review, encompassing in vitro, animal and human studies, show that there might be significant potential for dietary supplements as a complementary treatment to conventional therapy for endometriosis. Each supplement displayed attributes contributing to the mitigation of endometriosis symptoms, whether it was through anti-inflammatory means, antioxidant effects, immune modulation or their anti-proliferative properties. Despite variations between different kinds of supplements, the overall consensus indicates these function as a helpful add-on in managing the disease.
