| Abstract: | Silver is ingested in India in the form of varak, Ayurvedic bhasm and water contained in silver utensils, but nobody knows
their effects. We have examined the effect of interaction of silver ingested in the form of varak (leaf), bhasm (ash) and
water (colloidal solution) on some essential elements (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe and Zn) in blood, liver, spleen and kidneys of
chicks. The results showed significant rise of silver in all the tissues and significant fall in copper in the blood. The
greatest rise was obtained in blood silver by silver sol while it had the lowest amount of silver. Iron significantly increased
in tissues but somewhat decreased in blood. Zinc content increased in all the tissues by leaf and ash but decreased by sol.
No consistent pattern was seen in case of other elements. |
