Preventive Pharmacy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab investigates how metals in the body affect human health.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how metals interact with the body.
The Preventive Pharmacy Lab studies how chemical substances, especially metal compounds, affect human health.
Even essential metals that the body needs are harmful in excess, and even toxic metals do not show toxicity below a certain concentration.
The lab examines, step by step, how metals are taken up, transported, function, and are excreted in the body, aiming to clarify how the body regulates metals.
The lab's facilities include instruments for elemental analysis, such as an ICP mass spectrometer and atomic absorption spectrophotometers.
Key terms
- Metal compound
- A substance formed when a metallic element combines with other elements
- Essential metal
- A metal required for human health. It can become harmful when present in excess
- ICP mass spectrometer
- An instrument that breaks a sample down into atoms in high-temperature plasma and measures the types and amounts of elements
