Abstract
Zinc concentrations, determined with atomic absorption spectrophotometry, did not differ significantly in plasma from manic-depressive patients about to start lithium treatment and in patients having been in lithium treatment for six months or 1-2 years. Plasma zinc concentrations and zinc concentrations in liver, muscle, kidney, bone, and skin did not differ in control rats and rats given lithium with the food for four weeks.
