Sažetak
The aim of this study was to assess human boron (B) nutritional status. Hair (H) (samples were analyzed in 707 healthy adult sub- jects in (263 male and 464 female) with the ICP-MS at the CBM, Moscow, Russia. Whole blood (WB) B was assessed in the population sub-sample of 80 men and 152 women. The frequency distribution of B in the respective H and WB samples was analyzed with the median, derivative method. The bioassay sigmoid curve for H B is characterized by a linear response range (adequate B) status, of (µg/g) 0.771-6.510 and 0.472-3.389, for male and female, respectively ; male retained distinctly more B than female. Hair B concentrations below that level indicate low and that above it the B excessive exposure. There were no differences in the short term biological indicator of WB B linear range of concentrations between male and female ; male 0.020-0.078 and female 0.019-0.062 (µg/g). Conclusions: Hair is a non-invasive long term biological indicator tissue of choice for the human B nutritional status assessment/environmental exposure (body burden).
