Abstract :The aim of this study was to determine concentrations of manganese insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mn);, iron insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fe);, and strontium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sr); in the cartilage, compact bone, spongy bone, and cartilage with adjacent compact bone of the domestic dog insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Canis lupus familiaris);. The experiment was carried out on bones from the hip joints of 24 dogs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(dogs of 8 years); from northwestern Poland. The concentrations of Mn, Fe, and Sr were assessed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Fe concentration was the highest in the cartilage and compact bone. Mn concentration was the lowest in all three types of bone material and had a significantly lower concentration in spongy bone than in the other bone materials. Sr concentration was the highest in the spongy bone. Age-dependent comparison showed that both Mn and Fe concentration in dogs of 0.70); were found between Mn and Fe and between Mn and Sr concentrations in cartilage, and between Sr concentrations in compact bone and cartilage with adjacent compact bone. In most of the studied dogs, bone Mn, Fe, and Sr concentrations were similar to those found in other canines and different from ungulates and micromammals.
