Forty-nine cases of the "Pattern of Deficiency" were studied including 35 male cases of the "Pattern of Yin Deficiency" and 14 male cases of the "Pattern of Yon Deficiency". Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Mo levels in plasma were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Se level in plasma was determined fluorometrically.

Cu level in plasma increased singnificantly in cases of the "Pattern of Yin Deficiency" ( 1.03μg/ml in "Yin Deficiency", 0.75μg/ml in control), and decreased significantly in cases of the "Pattern of Yon Deficiency" ( 0.34μg/ ml in "Yon Deficiency"', 0.75μg/ml in control).

Se level in plasma was decreased significantly in cases of the "Pattern of Yin Deficiency" ( At 50 year group, 0.080μg/ml in "Yin Deficiency", 0.137μg/ml in control. At 60 year group, 0.075μg/ml in "Yin Deficiency", 0.102μg/ ml in control. At 70 year group, 0.071μg/ml in"Yin Deficiency", 0.100μg/ml in control). It was considered that "Yin Deficiency" was in the early aged state.
