metals in human metabolism, a relatively neglected area of human
metabolism and nutrition. 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 life
processes, the metal content of living systems and metals in food
and diets. This is followed by chapters, each dealing with an
individual trace metal. Those discussed are iron, zinc, copper,
selenium, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, boron, vanadium,
cobalt, silicon and arsenic. In each case attention is given to the
metal's chemistry and metabolic roles, including absorption,
transport, losses, status and essentiality, as well as the
consequences both of deficiency and excess.
The Nutritional Trace Metals is essential reading for
nutritionists, dietitians and other health professionals, including
physicians, who wish to know more about these vital components of
the diet. The book will also be of value to food scientists,
especially those involved in food fortification and pharmaceutical
product formulation. It will be an invaluable reference volume in
libraries of universities and research establishments involved in
nutrition teaching and research.

"This book discusses the role played by trace metals in human
metabolism. It is intended for use by food scientists in fields
such as food fortification as well as nutritionists, dietitians and
other health professionals wanting to learn more about trace metals
as dietary components."
Food Science & Technology Abstracts, Vol 37 (3) 2005
"This book covers the roles played by trace elements in human
metabolism. It provides information on thir nature and function,
and discusses reports from the specialist literature, highlighting
current thinking concerning the effect of these trace
elements.
This book will be particularly useful for undergraduates in
dietetics and nutrition courses and will be of value to medical and
pharmaceutical and other healthprofessionals, including alternative
health practitioners.
It could also serve as a reference book for food scientists and
technologists, as well as for administrators and others in the food
industry who need to nore more about the nutritional trace elements
that occur in processed and other foods either naturally or added
in fortification."
CAB Abstracts, 2005
"The Nutritional Trace Metals is a unique reference
source for food scientists and technologists (espicially those
involved in food fortification and pharmaceutical product
formulation. i.e. nutraceuticals and functional foods), dietiticans
and other health professionals, including physicians, who wish to
know more about these vital components of the diet."

"...essential reading for public health professionals."
"The selenium chapter is a tour de force with a wide
ranging discussion on the magnitude and implications of selenium
defiency".
"This is a fine addition to the body of available literature on
trace metals of nutritional significance and covers teh important
trace elements including iron, zinc, copper, selenium,
manganese, molybdenum, etc".
