The Mineral Content of Human Skin
نویسنده
چکیده
A knowledge of the chemical composition of the human skin and a demonstration of any changes which may occur in its chemistry during growth is a prerequisite for the study of the various diseases peculiar to that organ. Evidence of the r&e played by the mineral constituents of the skin in its normal metabolism as well as in its pathological processes has gradually been accumulating and the literature bearing on this subject has been reviewed in previous communications (I, 2). The object of the present paper is the presentation and discussion of data obtained in the analyses for the mineral content of over forty samples of human skin.

Nowadays, organic fertilizers play an important role in agriculture. They are progressively substituting chemical fertilizers to prevent their harmful impact on human health and the environment. They provide high yield, better quality products and a shorter period of harvesting crops. In this study, the mineral elements: primary macronutrient (N, PO3- and K+), secondary macronutrient: (Ca2+, Mg...
