Abstract

Human pancreases obtained at autopsy have been analyzed for chromium using flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Both the original sample and the lipid-free sample of 21 pancreases have been digested by means of low temperature plasma ashing. Chromium levels are reported for the following categories of subjects: arteriosclerotic heart disease (5); carcinoma (5); diabetes mellitus (4); cirrhosis of the liver (3); other diseases (4).
