Abstract
The objective of this study was to measure the alterations in serum trace elements, including selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), in patients with brucellosis. The serum trace elements were measured by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer in sera of patients with brucellosis (n=23, mea age = 28.9±10.1), and statistically compared with those of healthy individuals (n=32, mean age = 33.4±16.2). Serum Cu concentration was found to be significantly higher in the patient group than those of healthy individuals (26.08±1.00 and 17.46±0.61 µmol/L, respectively) (p
Özet
Bu çalışmada, serum iz elementlerinden selenyum (Se), çinko (Zn) ve bakır (Cu) atomik absorbsiyon spektrofotometre kullanılarak brusellozlu hastaların (n=23, yaş ortalaması = 28.9±10.1) serumlarında belirlendi ve istatistiksel olarak sağlıklı bireylerin (n=32, yaş ortalaması = 33.4±16.2) değerleri ile kıyaslandı. Serum Cu düzeyleri hasta grupta 26.08±1.00 µmol/L olarak bulundu ve bu değer önemli ölçüde sağlıklı bireyler grubundan yüksekti (17.46±0.61 µmol/L) (p
