  • Title: Vanadium in human serum, as determined by neutron activation analysis.
    Author: Simonoff M, Llabador Y, Peers AM, Simonoff GN.
    Journal: Clin Chem; 1984 Oct; 30(10):1700-3. PubMed ID: 6478603.
    Abstract:
    Vanadium concentrations have been measured in the serum of 23 healthy subjects by neutron activation analysis, with post-irradiation chemical separation. The values obtained fall in a fairly narrow range (260-1300 ng/L, mean 670 ng/L), which suggests a physiological role for this element. We checked the method by analysis of standard (U.S. National Bureau of Standards) water samples and serum samples supplemented with 48V, and we found excellent agreement with expected results in both cases. We consider the reported results for human serum to be more reliable than those obtained by atomic absorption spectroscopy.
