Abstract

Iron chromium and tin in the liver., spleen and muscle were investigated quantitatively using emission spectroscopy. It was found that the spleen's iron is significantly higher than the hepatic iron in all groups studied (in the case of adult animals or during the fetal life. The liver iron was significantly low in adult camels than fetal livers. The hepatic iron is significantly low in the camel fetal livers at early pregnancy. It seems that the iron accumulates more in spleen and liver at the pregnancy as well as at birth. At late or early pregnancy or during the adolescence the spleen contained more iron than the liver. On contrast to liver and spleen the muscle contain low iron during late pregnancy and the muscular iron reached higher levels than the hepatic iron during the adult life. Chromium and tin were undetectable during the fetal life in the liver tissue. Their levels in the livers of adult camels were 0.37 ppm, chromium was undetected in the spleen or musculature. Tin was undetected in both tissues of the spleen and or musculator during the embryonic life. Their levels were 0.95 and 1.9 ppm respectively in these tissues of adult camels.
