Abstract:
8 trace elements including Cu, P, Zn, Mg, Fe, Ca, Mn, and Ba were determined in 60 volunteers and 41 patients with endemic fluorosis. The results showed that in the patient's group serum Cu was substantially higher and serum Zn as well as Fe were lower while hair Cu and Mg were both significantly elevated as compared with controls.Based on the results mentioned above, it may be suggested that hair could be used as an alternative source for clinical measurement of trace elements because of its easy availability. The significance of the changes in the 8 trace elements was also discussed, but the pathological mechanism has been unknown yet.
