[X-ray microanalysis of elements in epon-embedded animals tissues].

C H Becker, A G Jánossy

    Acta Biologica Et Medica Germanica
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    X-ray microanalysis quantified elements like chlorine and calcium in rat arteriolar walls. Metabolic disorder significantly altered these elemental concentrations, warranting further investigation.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical science
    • Analytical chemistry
    • Histology

    Context:

    • Metabolic disorders can alter tissue elemental composition.
    • X-ray microanalysis is a technique for elemental quantification.
    • Conventional electron microscopy preparation methods are compatible with X-ray microanalysis.

    Purpose:

    • To quantitatively analyze elemental distribution in rat arteriolar walls.
    • To investigate the impact of induced metabolic disorder on tissue elemental composition.
    • To assess the feasibility of X-ray microanalysis on conventionally prepared electron microscopy samples.

    Summary:

    • X-ray microanalysis successfully identified and quantified elements (Cl, Si, P, S, Ca, Fe) in the arteriolar walls of rat colon, heart, and kidney.
    • Significant differences in elemental quantities were observed between control and metabolically disordered rat groups (NaCl and Ca-Vit. D2 overdose).
    • These elemental changes occurred despite standard electron microscopic preparation techniques.

    Impact:

    • Provides quantitative elemental data for arteriolar walls in specific organs.
    • Highlights the potential of X-ray microanalysis to detect metabolic disorder-induced elemental shifts.
    • Suggests X-ray microanalysis as a valuable tool for studying metabolic diseases at the elemental level.
