DETERMINATION OF ZINC IN HUMAN HEAD HAIR USING ENERGY-DISPERSIVE X-RAY FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETRY

摘要

Zinc was determined in human head hair samples from male and female mental patients and normal subjects using energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The average Zn levels were higher in male mental patients than in normal subjects. No statistically significant difference was seen in the corresponding Zn values for females. [References: 5]
