The contents of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates were also analysed in the diets. The daily intakes of the elements analysed were compared to the recommended values set by RDA or WHO.241-245openAccessneutron activation analysisdietmulti-element analysiselementstrace amountschildrenaged adultsurogenital system diseasesnutritionArtigo de periódico124410.1023/A:1006769727407
