Abstract
Zinc was determined in human head hair samples from male and female me ntal patients and normal subjects using energy-dispersive x-ray fluore scence spectrometry. The average Zn levels were higher in male mental patients than in normal subjects. No statistically significant differe nce was seen in the corresponding Zn values for females.
