Abstract
In this paper, we present our trace elemental studies using atomic absorption spectroscopy and synergetic transitions in the correlation decay schemes. Synergetic transitions give us the possible interactions taking place between trace elements in (a) MD (b) non-MD (controls) (c) CRF cases. This paper shows that the decay schemes of MD and controls are quite different. From this it follows that the correlation jumps are connected with the changes in dystrophin in MD. These correlation transitions throw a new way of looking up the progressive MD. Dietary factors and alcohol and narcoties consumption are some of the factors, which are found to be responsible for these transformations in the decay schemes. We notice several significant changes in correlation decay schemes in chronic renal failure (CRF) case also.
