Abstract
Concerning the etiopathogenesis, one can speak about the following types of obesity: primary nutritional, occurring as a result of the joint action of genetic and environmental factors, and secondary obesity--which is a symptom of e.g. metabolic diseases. It has been found out that metabolism of carbohydrates and fats in human organism is connected with some microelements, and the occurrence of obesity may indirectly be connected with the disturbances of homeostasis. The purpose of this study was determination of the content of chromium, zinc, copper, manganese, iron and nickel (elements that are involved in the processes mentioned above) in slimming preparations: Bio C.L.A., Bioslank, Chudeus-syt, Fat Burner, Slim Trio. The samples were mineralized at 450 degrees C, and the determination of elements was performed using the absorption atomic spectrometry. The determined amounts of the examined elements may be regarded as the complementary daily demand of the organism for those elements.
