Abstract

The concentration of 10 trace elements in samples of normal and diabetic whole blood were investigated by neutron activation analysis (NAA). Instrumental NAA (INAA) was used for determination of Co, Cr, Hg, Rb, Se, and Zn, whereas NAA with radiochemical separation (RNAA) was employed for determination of Al, Cu, Mg, and Mn. The results for normal blood compare well with literature values. Co, Cr, Se, and Zn show lower values in diabetes than in the normal blood samples.
