“…Role of copper in epilepsy is still uncertain. Some studies have shown that copper deficiency is more common in patients with epilepsy and have concluded that it could be considered as a causative factor of seizures [27,28,29], whereas, some other studies shown that concentration level of copper is more in epileptic patients than in normal case [30]. In our study, copper is found to be high in Ocimum sanctum (19 ± 0.6 Ppm) , Centella asiatica (16 ± 1 ppm), Acorus calamus (15 ± 0.3 ppm).…”

We have measured trace elements in epileptic patients. Levels of trace elements are very fluctuating in comparison to the healthy controls. The levels of Zn, Fe and Cu are higher in comparison to healthy normal children about 64%, 55% and 33% respectively. The levels of Cu are just fifty percent to levels of Zn. The levels of Ca, K and Mg are higher about 10%, 9.027% and 4.2% in comparison to normal children. Sodium levels were very low in comparison to all the trace elements and are higher about 3.2% than controls. The multiple correlation coefficients between Na, K and Ca, i.e. () has a value 0.4993 in comparison to healthy children. Multiple correlation coefficients between Fe, Cu and Zn, i.e. () has a value 0.4366. The multiple correlation coefficients and are found lower. These elements were strongly correlated with other. The multiple correlation coefficients such as

Any changes in the environment as well as in the human body itself can trigger changes in trace metal composition of any organ or tissue and as a consequence, some disease can be produced [10,14,18,20,21].

Aim: The present study was conducted to investigate the distribution and mutual variations of trace elements (Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Pb, and Zn) in the scalp hair of hepatitis-C patients in comparison with the healthy subjects. Methods: The scalp hair samples were solubilized in nitric acid and perchloric acid mixture, followed by the quantification of the trace elements on flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The metal data were then subjected to the detailed statistical analyses. Results: Average concentrations of Ca, Mg, Zn and Na were dominant in the scalp hair of both groups, although most of the trace elernents exhibited higher dispersion and tandomness in the patients. Mean levels of Cr, Fe, Cd, Mg and Cu were significantly higher and those of Zn and Mn were lower in the scalp hair of the patients (p < 0.05). The correlation study revealed considerable variations in the rnutual relationships of trace elelnents in both groups. Principal component and cluster analyses exhibited diverse appor
