Aluminum is used in numerous manufacturing products involving alloys because of its importance in developing physical and chemical properties. In this study, a sensitive, simple, economical, fast, and accurate indirect spectral analytical method was advanced using Eriochrome black T as ligand with abolition use of the separation and isolation to estimate the amount of Aluminum in the Al-Cu-Zn solder alloy by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer instrument. The method's accuracy was 99.901 ± 0.104, and the limit of detection (LOD) and qualification (LOQ) were 0.0961 and 0.2912 μg ml-1, respectively. The developed method can be employed for water, biological, environmental, and fuel samples.

The study investigates the intricate relationship between zinc, an essential trace element, and diabetes mellitus, focusing on its implications for type 2 diabetes management. The study explores the biochemical mechanisms by which zinc influences insulin synthesis and secretion, carbohydrate metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation modulation. They discuss the detrimental effects of zinc deficiency on glycemic control and the potential benefits of zinc supplementation in improving fasting blood glucose levels and lipid profiles in diabetic patients. The document also addresses the variability in outcomes of zinc supplementation studies due to differences in study design, zinc dosages, and patient populations, calling for more randomized controlled trials to establish standardized guidelines for zinc supplementation in diabetes care. The manuscript suggests that assessing zinc levels in diabetic patients could be a valuable component of comprehensive diabetes management strategies, given the mineral's crucial roles in insulin dynamics and metabolic health
