The prostate gland contains a higher concentration of zinc than any soft tissue in the human body previously investigated. In an extensive series of analyses Eggleton found the highest concentration in liver (245 μgm. Zn per gm. dry weight), whereas the mean zinc content of all our specimens of human prostate was 682 ± 70 μgm. per gm. dry weight. Carcinomatous prostates contained much less zinc than normal glands, and the amount of zinc in any given prostate was directly related to the proportion of alveolar tissue present.
