Abstract
— Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and magnesium (Mg) concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum were determined with atomic absorption spectrophotometry in 74 patients suffering from various neurological diseases, and in 28 healthy controls. Increased CSF zinc levels were found in the group of peripheial nervous system diseases (PPPP< 0.01) were found in the group of multiple sclerosis (MS). The findings are correlated to those of previous communications.Keywords
