Abstract:
This investigation describes results of measurements of trace element distributions in serum and hair obtained from 30 patients with brain tumors. The experimental procedure is also described in this article. The results show that the contents of Zn, Fe and Sr in serum are lower compared to those of healthy people (p 〈 0.01, p 〈 0.05 and p 〈 0.05). The contents of Ca, Cu, Sr and Zn in hair are decreased compared to healthy people (p 〈 0.01 and p 〈 0.05), while the contents of Cr and Fe in hair are higher by 2 times and 1.8 times (p 〈 0.01), respectively. The results above might be of clinical importance.
