CONTENT OF SOME TRACE ELEMENTS (COPPER, MANGANESE, COBALT AND ZINC) IN THE BLOOD, CEREBROSPINAL FLUID AND URINE OF HEALTHY AND MYOPATHIC PERSONS

Abstract

The content of copper, manganese, cobalt and zinc in the blood of myopathic patients was lowered in comparison with normal. It was noted that the level of manganese and cobalt in the blood of patients drops parallelly with the expressiveness of muscular atrophies. The concentration of copper and manganese in the urine of myopathic patients was increased; the highest level of copper in the urine was noted in patients with the early infantile form of myopathy; no dependency was exposed between the content of manganese in the urine and the severity and length of illness.
