Determination of trace elements in peripheral lymphocytes from tumor-bearing rats

J Schuhmacher et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Neutron activation analysis of peripheral lymphocytes from healthy and Walker 256 carcinosarcoma-bearing rats resulted in the quantitative determination of Co, Cu, K, Mn, Rb, Se and Zn, and a qualitative determination of Au and Sb. From corresponding plasma samples, Co, Zn, Rb, Se and Cs were analyzed. Differences in trace element concentrations could only be detected in plasma of tumor-bearing animals which showed a decreased Zn and Co content of 50% and 30%, respectively, and a rise of Rb when compared to plasma of control animals.
