    Abstract Background: The analysis and diagnosis of ancient oral pathologies have been improved with the application of new techniques such as microscopy and scanning methods over the past few decades. However, the enhancement of the diagnosis implies a prior knowledge of the availability and suitability of such equipments.
    Methods: In this work we examined 3D digital and scanning electron microscopy and two computed tomography systems (CBCT and microCT) in order to assess dental and oral disease of the individuals of a Chalcolithic collective burial from El Mirador cave (Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain).
    Results and conclusions: 3D Digital microscopy and CBCT are excellent options to analyze dental pathologies as they are more frequently available, sample preparation is not required, easy to operate, offer excellent images and the possibility of measurements and 3D reconstructions.

    Abstract An adequate prooxidant-antioxidant balance-which may be influenced by body composition and biochemical status-is essential to maintain human health, especially in circumstances under which the antioxidant defense decreases, such as menopause. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between body composition and biochemical parameters with antioxidant status in a healthy cohort of postmenopausal women. This cross-sectional study was carried out in a cohort of 78 postmenopausal women aged 44-76 years. The body composition profile was assessed through bioelectrical impedance. The determination of the total antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase activity was conducted by the colorimetric method, and glutathione peroxidase activity was determined by the enzymatic immunological method. The vitamin D levels were measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The mineral status was assessed through flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The rest of the biochemical parameters were assessed through an immunoassay. The total antioxidant capacity and antioxidant gap were negatively influenced by body composition (all

    Abstract Background & aims: Menopausal hormonal changes increase the risk of deficiencies of minerals such as zinc (Zn), which could further worsen the decreased antioxidant defense of postmenopausal women. This study assesses the effect of 8 weeks of Zn supplementation upon the antioxidant status and clinical nutritional parameters of a postmenopausal population.
    Methods: Fifty-one postmenopausal women were divided into two groups: placebo (PbG) and zinc supplementation (ZnG). Mineral status was determined by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (FAAS). Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) were analyzed by kinetic colorimetric methods. Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) was assessed by an enzymatic immunological method.
    Results: Poor Zn status was initially observed in erythrocyte samples. Total antioxidant capacity showed a significant correlation (r = 0.730; p < 0.05) to erythrocyte Zn after the intervention (ZnG: r = 0.96; p < 0.001). Moreover, erythrocyte Zn concentration in ZnG was positively correlated to GPx activity after the intervention (r = 0.61; p < 0.01).
    Conclusions: The postmenopausal women initially presented Zn deficiency, and the status of this mineral improved after the intervention. Zinc supplementation may be an effective approach for correcting the observed deficiencies, enhancing antioxidant defense in this risk population.
    Clinical trial registration: The present study is registered at the US National Institutes of Health (ClinicalTrials.gov), NCT03672513.

    Abstract Background: The menopausal period is characterized by hormonal imbalance related to the alteration of parameters involved in lipid metabolism. In addition, menopause increases the risk of deficiencies of key vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D and zinc in such women. The present study investigates the influence of zinc supplementation on the status of vitamin D
    Methods: Fifty-one healthy postmenopausal women aged 44-76 years from the province of Granada (Spain) were divided into two groups (placebo and zinc) of 25 and 26 women, respectively. The zinc group was supplemented with 50 mg/day of zinc for 8 weeks. Nutrient intake assessment was performed by means of a 24 -h reminder. Zinc was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Vitamin D was analyzed by liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry. Leptin was determined by enzyme immunoassay.
    Results: Zinc supplementation improved the initial vitamin D
    Conclusion: Zinc supplementation improved vitamin D

    Abstract Menopause is a stage of hormonal imbalance in women which, in addition to other physiopathological consequences, poses a risk of deficiency of key micronutrients such as magnesium and vitamin D. A study was made of the influence of a magnesium intervention upon vitamin D status in a postmenopausal population from the province of Granada (Spain). Fifty-two healthy postmenopausal women between 44-76 years of age were included. Two randomized groups-placebo and magnesium (500 mg/day)-were treated during eight weeks. Nutrient intake was assessed using questionnaires based on 72-h recall. Vitamin D was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Baseline vitamin D proved deficient in over 80% of the subjects. The administration of magnesium resulted in significantly increased vitamin D levels in the intervention group versus the controls (
