Study of elemental contents in human liver with neutron activation analysis
in 47 autopsy liver samples collected from normal subjects who had an accidental death within 24 h in Tianjin
China
were measured with instrumental activation analysis. The differences of elemental contents in livers of male and female were compared by means of t -test
no significant difference was found for most of elements determined
except Cd
Co
Fe
Mo
La and Zn. A comparison between our data and those reported from some other areas in the world was made
no anomalous difference was found. The correlation among different elements in human liver was studied with multi-elements statistics. It was found that there was relatively closer correlation among some elements
and they could be reasonably explained by the similarity of electronic structures of the elements and their physiological functions in human body. Some interesting information on the interrelations of the elements in human body could be obtained from the study of elemental correlation.
