ABSTRACT. Nickel is a poorly studied trace element. Its role in the processes of hematopoesis, regulation of glycaemia and blood pressure is detected. In the present study, nickel serum concentrations and its dietary intake in various nutritional groups were analyzed. It was found that nickel consumption decreased with the reduction of the share of plant products, however, its blood levels did not differ. All subjects did not exceed recommended concentrations.
