| Abstract: | Heavy metals have specific role in the progression of diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the level of toxic elements, i.e. lead, cadmium, chromium and selenium in blood serum of type 1 diabetes mellitus and cancer patients. Samples were collected from Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology, Lahore (INMOL) Hospital and Jinnah Hospital, Lahore. They were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Concentrations of toxic metals, i.e. lead, cadmium and chromium have been found relatively high in both cancer and diabetic patients where as concentration of selenium was relatively lower than the normal subjects. |
