| Abstract: | Contents of 13 trace elements in human hair were determined by neutron activation analysis. The distribution patterns of mean values of elements were extremely similar in all groups, though the contents of elements were individually different in each group. Numerous elements in new-born infants of both sexes correlated with each other, especially with V at a 95% confidence level. Special characteristics of diseased infants were the high contents of Cl and the low contents of Cr. It is presumed that these facts are due to the imbalanced acid-base equilibrium and some abnormal metabolic systems in diseased bodies. |
