“…Furthermore, in group II and in subgroups A, B and C; no significant correlations exist between the number of deliveries and serum Zn concentration. Serum Zn is the most widely used index of Zn status in human (WHO, 2001;Angelova et al, 2006;WHO et al, 2007).In this study serum Zn concentration among apparently healthy non-married women showed a normal distribution pattern (Fig. 2) with the reference range (X ± 2SD) of 9.78-14.41 µmol/L which lower than the international reference range of 11.6-23.0 µmol/L obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry method (Akl, 2001).This is probably due to the relatively small sample size used in this study, in addition although the atomic absorption spectrometry method offer greater sensitivity with good analytical parameters and accuracy (Angelova et al, 2006), but it is tedious and subject to numerous interferences (WHO, 2001) and variation in the laboratory estimations (Pathak et al, 2008).…”

The study was conducted in Mosul during the period from february to april 2009 including non-married and pregnant group composed of 35 and 105 apparently healthy women respectively. Pregnant group were subdivided equally according to their trimester into three subgroups, women in second and third trimester are having ferrous sulphate in their ingestion. Serum zinc measurements were done for these groups of women.the results showed that serum zinc concentration start to reduce significantly during second trimester continue to decline in third trimester in comparison with non-married group. Therefore, it is recommended to measure serum zinc during pregnancy with the use of optimal dose of zinc supplemental therapy.

“…Solid phase extraction (SPE) has been widely used for preconcentration of heavy metals due to many advantages, while conventional SPE methods have some limitations with respect to disadvantages of employing large volumes of hazardous organic solvents, producing secondary waste, and tedious procedures. [17][18][19][20][21] A new approach is developed for sample preparation, solid-phase microextraction (SPmE). It was invented by Pawliszyn and co-workers 22,23 in 1989, to reduce the limitations inherent in SPE and LLE.…”

“…This draw back can be overcome by the combination of a suitable preconcentration-separation technique with subsequent AAS determination. Solid phase extraction (SPE) has been widely used for preconcentration of heavy metals due to advantages such as, high efficiency, simplicity, rapidity, low consumption of material especially toxic organic solvents [1][2][3][4][5], freedom from contamination and the possibility of combination with AAS.…”
