Abstract
The concentrations of ten trace elements were assayed up to 3 hours after an infusion of an amino acid mixture. The changes in metabolism induced by the administered amino acids led to characteristic alterations of the trace element concentrations. These characteristic alterations could be explained by a mechanism which seems to compensate for membraneous charge alterations caused by the metabolic reaction. Obviously, non essential trace elements are involved in this mechanism.
