Abstract
Zn and Cd concentrations in tissue of normal prostate gland, BPH and prostatic carcinoma of different histological grades have been determined by atomic absorption spectrometry before therapy. We found a distinct biological antagonistic effect between Zn and Cd in the human prostate gland. We have seen an increasing amount of Zn in BPH, but a decrease in prostatic cancer. In contrast, we found a continuous increase of cadmium concentration from the normal prostate via BPH through carcinoma.Entities:
