“…The most recent study showed significant losses of Cu, Fe, Se and Zn [ 9 ▪▪ ]. Broman et al [ 10 ] analysed eight elements (Cr, Cu, Co, Mn, Mo, Rb, Se, Zn), and showed that the balances were quite different: while they were negative for Cu, Se and Rb, they were positive for Cr, Mn and Zn. This was accompanied by significantly reduced plasma levels of selenium and rubidium, whilst the concentrations of chromium, cobalt and molybdenum were significantly increased.…”
