title: The incorporation of Yb and Se into the brains of rats and their effect on the Zn level.
abstract: The concentrations of Yb, Se and Zn in the brains of rats were determined after the injection of ytterbium chloride and selenodiglutathione--single or together--by neutron activation analysis. Both Yb and Se were incorporated in all the investigated brain tissues and they also caused changes in the Zn concentration.
