Background: The aim of present study was to estimate the levels of some Trace element (Lead, Copper, Cobalt, Chromium, and Cademium) concentrations in Asthenospermia and Normospermia by atomic absorption method, in comparison with control (Fertile), Estimate concentration of (MDA) Malondialdehyde and Total protein concentration in semen specimens.Also relationships between mentioned components ...

The genetic and nongenetic factors affecting the elemental composition of animal and human tissues are presented. Genetic factors include: (1) some well-known inherited diseases that affect copper, zinc, iron, magnesium, manganese and selenium metabolism; (2) animal species differences and (3) breed differences within animal species. The nongenetic factors include regional variation, dietary co...

background: within the context of developing techniques to facilitate the diagnosis of the thyroid diseases, the elemental composition of pathological thyroid tissue (neoplastic and non-neoplastic) was investigated by proton induced x-ray emission. the pixe has been widely used as a sensitive technique for trace elemental analysis in both biological and medical fields. materials and methods: th...

the major aim of the present study was to investigate element (fe, ni, pb, v, zn) concentrations in sediment and different tissues of phragmities australis and typha latifolia in hor al-azim wetland southwest iran. sampling of sediments and aquatic plants was carried out during spring and summer 2014. results showed that the mean  concentrations of elements in phragmities australis  in root and...

background: a powerful and improved technique, proton induced x-ray emission (pixe) has been performed-yielding the elemental composition of 17 samples of surgically excised malignant and normal tumors of breast tissue. the samples without any further process as thick targets were put on capton foil backing. there are no homogenizing processes. the pixe spectra analysis was performed using he n...
