Trace Elements in Man and Animals 6
This book is the published proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Trace Element Metabolism in Man and Animals. The Symposium was held at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California, U.S.A. from May 31 through June 5, 1987. The decision to hold TEMA-6 at Asilomar was made at TEMA-5 in 1985. The International Guidance Committee decided to hold the meeting in California in part to recognize the significant cont~i butions made to the field of trace element metabolism by Professor Lucille S. Hurley. As such, she was the obvious choice as chair of the local organ izing committee. One of the principal goals of Professor Hurley was that TEMA-6 serve as a forum for discussing the use and application of newer methodologies, such as molecular biology, computer modelling and stable isotopes, in studies of trace element metabolism. Based on the comments which the local organizing committee has received, this goal was achieved. The Symposium was attended by 275 scientists from 32 countries covering 6 continents. Twenty-five speakers were chosen for our plenary sessions.
Developmental Nutrition
Abstract: Recent research findings have confirmed the role played by nutrition in mammalian development, and have led to the identification of the new biological discipline of developmental nutrition. This interdisciplinary subject is treated in 3 sections: growth and development; nutritional influences on embryonic and fetal development; and nutrition in infancy and childhood. Such concepts as biochemical maturation, differentiation and morphogenesis, and placental transfer are examined. Nutritional influences of the macro- and micronutrients on prenatal development, congenital abnormalities, malnutrition, brain growth, learning, and maternal physiological and dietary adaptations to pregnancy are discussed. Aspects of nutritional needs in infancy, early childhood, and adolescence are also presented.
Nutrition and Immunity
Separate chapters deal with the effects of dietary intakes of calories, proteins, lipids, minerals, vitamins, breast milk, and alcohol on immunity status. The text closes with a detailed review of the potential for nutritional modulation in treating immune dysfunction and an assessment of future research needs and directions. Special attention is given to experimental animal model studies aimed at identifying specific nutrition-immunity interactions. The text includes numerous illustrations and tables, and cites over 1000 publications dealing with the subject.

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 ...
