Trace Elements and Iron in Human Metabolism

Metabolism and Metabolic Effects of Trace Elements

Modern trace element research is concerned at present with 17 elements, the essentiality of which has either been established or is suspected. Even when we concentrate on the seven or eight elements for which problems of deficiency or excessive exposure are known to occur in man, the multitude of their individual metabolic pathways, requirements, and interactions with the environment represents...

Trace elements and human obesity: An overview

The human body requires certain amount of trace elements to function properly (especially those that are classified as essential to health). Most elements are co-factors in the molecular mechanisms within the body but when in excess can also cause toxicity. Concentrations of some elements in excess (above optimum) or deficient amount can progress to some types of metabolic abnormalities which c...

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ALUMINIUM TOXICITY AND IRON METABOLISM IN RATS

The relationship between aluminium toxicity and iron metabolism was studied. Male rats were exposed to aluminium by daily intraperitoneal injection of 40pmolelkg body weight. After 45 days, aluminium intoxified rats had a significant loweredserum ferritin (55%), iron (42%), TIBC (25%) and hemoglobin(31%). At thesame time the serum ceruloplasmin level was elevated by 60%. This result shows t...
