As a relatively new field of inquiry, trace element research has advanced quite rapidly in the clinical, nutritional and biochemical areas - and the advent of molecular biology has accelerated its progress dramatically. Presenting a collection of work from investigators at the vanguard of the field, this book offers a detailed examination of some of the most important developments in trace element research. The text covers the latest findings on the role of trace elements in brain function, appetite regulation, gene expression and the immune response - and describes current knowledge of the absorption, transport and metabolic actions of trace elements.
