The book focuses its attention on the vital roles played by the relatively small number of trace metal nutrients as components of a wide range of functional proteins. Its structure and content are largely based on the approach adopted by the author, Professor Conor Reilly, during more than 30 years of teaching nutrition to a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate students.The introductory chapter covers the roles of metals in lifTrace elements in nutritionTrace elements in the bodyTrace elements in nutrition.Trace elements in the body.613.2613.28613.285Reilly Conor915643MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830670103321The nutritional trace metals2201512UNINA
