This paper is a review of three topics related to bio-trace metals. First, the transfer of metals into tissues of patients with chronic diseases treated with hemodialysis is examined. Such diseases include chronic hepatitis, diabetes, and chronic renal failure. In these diseases, metal contents from fingernails were flexible but non-specific. Toxicity may appear as the amount of heavy metals in tissues of patients with chronic renal failure treated with hemodialysis. For example, cadmium and lead were not excreted from the blood of patients during the hemodialysis treatment, and, therefore, their amounts gradually increased in the blood of patients. The level of zinc increased and was excreted in the urine of diabetic patients and experimental animals. Calcium accumulated in the kidney of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats that were fed low zinc diets; and, as a result, severe renal failure occurred. From these results, complicaiton syndromes of either metal deficiency or excesses may occur in tissues of patients with chronic diseases. Second, the role of metallothionein (MT), an inducible protein, and the properties of MT isoforms have been studied on experimental animals. In the exocrine cells of the pancreas, MT was induced by various stresses such as zinc, STZ, alloxan and 4-aminopyrazolo-(3,4-d) pyrimidine, but the effects of those stresses were not clear in the endocrine cells. Therefore, MT may have a role in the exocrine cells of the pancreas. In addition, we were able to separate completely MT-1 and MT-2 isoforms in cytosol fractions of tissues using a capillary zone electrophoresis system at neutral pH without any detergents. Each role of the MT isoforms in the tissues soon started to become clear. Third, cisplatin, a platinum-containing anti-tumor drug, did not penetrate into the brain tissue under physiological conditions, as there is a blood-brain barrier to cerebral tissues; however, it did penetrate with either short-term hypoxia or in the case of lipopolysaccharide-treated experimental animals. Nitric oxide, prostaglandin, and free radicals are related to the penetration. Older rats had a higher sensitivity to cisplatin than younger rats.
