The zinc concentration in normal human aqueous humor was determined with the help of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The mean value was 0.359 ppm with a scatter range of 0.27 to 0.44 ppm. The spectrophotometer permits simultaneous determination of two metals, in this case zinc and copper. It was possible to demonstrate an interaction of the two metals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
