Abstract
195 specimens of healthy and diseased human tissues were examined. Cu occurred in greater concentration in fetal tissues than in adult, and reached its maximum in the fetal liver (up to 10 times the amount present in the maternal liver). Mn occurred now and then in many tissues; it is chiefly concentrated in the liver, pancreas, suprarenal and kidney. It is present in bile, fetal bile containing a high proportion. In the blood it appears to be confined to the serum. Rb was almost as widely distributed as Cu; it occurs in greatest concentration in the heart and in striated muscle. Ag was found to a less extent than the preceding metals, but appears to be a normal constituent of the thyroid and the tonsil. Pb, Sr, and Li were found only occasionally.
