Abstract:
The present paper reports a determination of copper, zinc and aluminium in caudate nuclei in 8 adult cadavers and in 15 newborn cadavers by atomic absorption spectrophotometry using the graphite furnace atomizer. The results showed that the normal content of copper in the adult caudate nucleus was 24.04?8.93mg/kg dry tissue, zinc 129.92+89.17mg/kg and aluminium 2.38?0.77mg/kg. In the newborn cadavers, the normal contents of copper zinc and aluminium were 11.00+5.49, 75.35+27.52 and 1.72?0.56mg/kg dry tissue respectively. These results indicate that the data Iisted above in adults are higher than in newborn in fants.
