Regional distribution of metals in human brain. 1987

R J Uitti, and A H Rajput, and B Rozdilsky, and W K Yuen

Progress in understanding the role of metals in diseases of the nervous system has been hampered to a large extent by a lack of normal metal concentration values in the human brain. Since several metals interact metabolically, concurrent metal levels are essential for clinical correlation. We are reporting a simultaneous analysis of 24 metals in 4 different areas of 9 human brains. Our data on previously studied metals are comparable to the past observations. Therefore, we suggest the values of all metals reported here should be regarded as "normal" for ages 58-78 years.

D008297 Male Males
D008670 Metals Electropositive chemical elements characterized by ductility, malleability, luster, and conductance of heat and electricity. They can replace the hydrogen of an acid and form bases with hydroxyl radicals. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Metal
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D001923 Brain Chemistry Changes in the amounts of various chemicals (neurotransmitters, receptors, enzymes, and other metabolites) specific to the area of the central nervous system contained within the head. These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states. Chemistry, Brain,Brain Chemistries,Chemistries, Brain

D014018 Tissue Distribution Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios. Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
