Abstract

The effect of age on chemical element contents in intact prostate of 64 apparently healthy 13-60 years old men was investigated by neutron activation analysis with high resolution spectrometry of short-lived radionuclides. Mean values (M +/- A SI center dot Ie) for content (mg/kg, dry weight basis) of chemical elements were: Br-31.6 +/- A 3.2, Ca-2150 +/- A 160, Cl-12670 +/- A 675, K-12010 +/- A 400, Mg-1150 +/- A 75, Mn-1.56 +/- A 0.09, and Na-10520 +/- A 340, respectively. A tendency of age-related increase in Ca content and decrease in Mn content was observed.
