Abstract

|
As a part of the study of blood levels of metals and its relation to diseases, hematocrit and levels of copper, zinc and lead in the whole blood and sera were measured in 155 ones who are living in the south-western coast of Chollanamdo, Korea.
The results obtained were as follows:
1. In whole blood, copper concentration was 114.4±14.6ug/dl in male and 118.5±14.9μg/dl in female, zinc, 690±118.2μg/dl in male and 589.6±121.4μg/μg in female, lead, 18.0±9.4μg/dl in male and 17.7±9.7μg/dl in female. In the case of zinc, significant difference was noted between both sexes.
2. In the serum, copper concentration was 97.8±21.4μg/ dl in male and 92.8±18.4μg/dl in female, zinc, 97.4±24.3μg/ dl in male, 90.3±23.1μg/dl in female, lead, 2.3±1.4μg/ dl in male, 2.2±1.0μg/dl in female.
3. Significant correlation was noted between copper concentrations in whole blood and serum. Negative correlation was noted significantly between zinc concentrations in whole blood and serum.
4. Whole blood zinc, lead concentration, and serum zinc concentration were significantly correlated with the value of hematocrit.
5. There was significant correlation between copper concentrations in whole blood and serum.
6. Multiple correlation’s were significant among whole blood metal (Cu, Zn, Pb) concentrations, age, hematocrit value and serum metal (Cu, Zn, Pb) concentration.
