title: On the vanadium and tin contents of diet and human blood.
abstract: The vanadium and tin contents of total diet samples collected in five Italian towns are given, and discussed in relation to literature data, their status as essential elements and their levels in human blood. Tin in blood was found to be below 2 ng ml-1 in a group of 14 subjects, and barely detectable even after oral consumption of 60 mg of tin.
