title: [Determination of zinc, copper, iron and manganese contents in hair for MPA patients and healthy men].
abstract: In this paper the contents of zinc, copper, iron and manganese in hair for MPA patients and 38 hair-healthy men have been determined by FAAS. The results show that the hair zinc and manganese levels in MPA patients are significantly lower than that in hair-healthy men. The hair copper level in MPA patients is significantly higher than that in hair-healthy men. There are statistic difference (P < 0.05) in hair zinc, copper and menganese levels among two groups. There is no statistic difference (P > 0.05) in the iron level among the two gopups. This paper provides useful material for the research of the cause and treatment of the MPA.
