Trace Elements in Human Health and Disease: Zinc and copper
Trace Elements in Human Health and Disease is a collection of papers presented at an international symposium on trace elements held in Detroit, Michigan on July 10-12, 1974. The symposium provided a forum for discussing the role of essential and toxic elements in human health and disease. These two volumes bring together a vast amount of information on trace elements zinc and copper, magnesium, selenium, fluoride, cadmium, lead, and mercury. They will be of great value to physicians, nutritionists, and toxicologists. A particularly interesting section relates to the leaching of important trace metals by excess dietary fiber in some developing countries. These books are one of the important monograph series published by the American Nutrition Foundation.
Clinical Applications of Recent Advances in Zinc Metabolism
Abstract: Twelve papers from a 1981 clinical workshop address a number of issues in zinc (Zn) research that are ofparticular relevance to clinicians and health care professionals. Emphasis is placed on areas of fundamental Znresearch that have the greatest clinical importance, and on new findings that are directly related to human nutritional health. The papers cover: historical aspects of Zn in human nutrition; the role of Zn at particular human developmental stages (prenatal; maternal nutritional status and pregnancy outcome), and in total parenteral nutrition; clinical disorders of Zn deficiency, and its diagnosis by hair and plasma analysis; the presence and distribution of Zn in milk, and an assessment of current knowledge on the role of Zn in normal cellular function.

Trace Elements and Iron in Human Metabolism
Each year, it becomes more apparent that trace elements play an important role in human metabolism. The concept is no longer new. The literature on the subject is voluminous. Dr. Prasad, who has been interested in this field for many years, has undertaken the enormous task of bringing our knowledge together in a comprehensive fashion. This monograph should prove very informative and extremely useful to everyone who is concemed with human disease and with the maintenance of good health. His coverage of the subject is broad. Because ofthe importance of iron, in addition to "trace" elements, in human metabolism and nutrition, a chapter dealing with iron has been included. Maxwell M. Wintrobe, M.D. vii PREFACE It has been known for several decades that many elements are present in living tissues, but it was not possible to measure their precise concentra tions until recently. They were therefore referred to as occurring in "trace" amounts, and this practice led to the use of the term "trace elements." Although techniques now available are such that virtually alI trace elements can be determined with reasonable accuracy, the designation "trace ele ments" remains in popular usage.
Essential and Toxic Element
Trace Elements in Human Health and Disease, Volume II: Essential and Toxic Elements is a collection of papers presented at an international symposium on trace elements held in Detroit, Michigan on July 10-12, 1974. The symposium provided a forum for discussing the role of essential and toxic elements such as magnesium and chromium in human health and disease. Comprised of 21 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of magnesium deficiency and magnesium toxicity in humans, followed by an analysis of magnesium deficiency and its relation to calcium, parathyroid hormone, and bone metabolism. The reader is then introduced to the biochemistry and physiology of magnesium, along with chromium ...

Clinical, Biochemical, and Nutritional Aspects of Trace Elements
Abstract: Thirty technical conference papers by experts in their field present new findings in 5 trace element research areas: essential elements (zinc, copper, chromium, selenium, manganese); trace element methodology; trace elements in total parenteral nutrition; trace elements interactions; and toxic elements (lead, cadmium, mercury). Intended to stimulate further research, the conference is reported for physicians, nutritionists, and biochemists. The papers represent the latest research on trace elements and the roles they play in human body functions. The wide variety of topics include: clinical and biological aspects of human zinc deficiency, the metabolism and biochemistry of zinc, the clinical and public health significance of chromium, trace element analyses in food and in biological samples, human mercury toxicity, and zinc nutrition in infants and children.
