Elemental concentrations (Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, P, Se and Zn) in the hair of Japanese were examined in relation to those in internal organs (cerebrum, cerebellum, heart, spleen, liver, kidney and rib). No significantly positive correlation was found between elemental concentration in hair and that in internal organ. This result indicates the restricted use of hair as a medium for the estimation of nutritional status of the essential elements examined in the present study, at least on an individual basis. The correlations between the concentrations in organs are also presented.
研究了日本人头发中的元素浓度(钙、铜、铁、镁、磷、硒和锌)与内脏器官(大脑、小脑、心脏、脾脏、肝脏、肾脏和肋骨)中的元素浓度之间的关系。未发现头发中的元素浓度与内脏器官中的元素浓度之间存在显著的正相关。该结果表明,至少在个体层面上,头发作为评估本研究中所检测必需元素营养状况的介质的用途有限。同时还给出了各器官中元素浓度之间的相关性。
