A study on sex-related difference of calcium and trace element contents in human scalp hair
The contents of calcium and trace elements in hair of 4127 inhabitants in Shanghai and Suzhou areas have been determined by using XRF. It was found that the levels of Sr
Mn and Ca in hair of female were significantly higher than those of male (p<0.01) and the Pb level of female was significantly lower than that of male (p<0.01) regardless of sampling areas and ages. From a comparison of the elemental levels under various physiological conditions it was supposed that there may exist some unique sex- related difference in the metabolic process of these elements.
