In alimentary adiposity, some microelements take active part in the metabolism change that proves to be true by an essential deviation from the norm of their concentration in liver and lung tissues during the physiological hunger and soon after fat consumption. The concentrations (in µg/g) of the following chemical elements P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Rb, and Sr were determined by synchrotron radiation excited X‐ray fluorescence (SRXRF) analysis. The measurements were carried out at the experimental station of X‐ray fluorescence elemental analysis (Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS, storage ring VEPP‐3). In alimentary adiposity, deficiency of separate microelements does not concern all organisms, but only some organs. At the condition of physiological hunger in the liver and lungs of rats with alimentary adiposity, the concentrations of As and Br are decreased; besides, in lungs the concentrations of Zn, Se, and Rb are also lowered.
