Abstract. The content of lead in muscles, liver, spleen and testicles is studied in Hereford bulls, aged 18 months. Selectivity of Pb accumulation is identified in organs and tissues. Pb level in organs and tissues may be ranged as follows: liver>spleen>muscles>testicles in the ratio 4.7: 4.4: 1.2: 1. It is shown that the increased concentration of lead in testicles decreases the content of vitamins. Some biological indexes of blood serum are indicators of Pb level in muscles and liver.
Abstract. The content of iron, zinc, copper, manganese, lead and cadmium has been studied in vastus muscle of the zander from Novosibirsk water basin upstream waters. The ranged row of the chemical elements levels was as follows: Fe>Zn>Cu>Mn>Pb>Cd. The concentration of all the elements, except for iron, did not exceed maximum permissible concentrations (MPC). The content of iron in zander muscles was 1.06 times higher than MPC. For the past 17 years, concentrations of heavy metals such as Cd, Fe, Zn, Mn and Pb in zander muscles decreased several times as much. It was determined that correlations among chemical elements in zander muscles were different in value and direction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
