عناصر ریز در تغذیه انسان و حیوان: جلد اول

From the Preface The major change in the format of the fifth edition is the presentation of the book in two volumes, necessitated by the rapidly increasing knowledge of metabolism, interactions, and requirements of trace elements. The guiding principle was to present the minimum of results that would serve as a logical foundation for the description of the present state of knowledge. Audience: Nutritionists, clinical biochemists, pathologists, veterinarians, toxicologists, physiologists, pediatric physicians, researchers in clinical medicine and clinical nutrition.

Davis Index Abstract: This two-volume reference work is intended to enable those interested in human and animal nutrition to obtain a balanced and detailed appreciation of the physiological roles of the trace elements. Included are individual chapters devoted to each of the trace elements, as well as a chapter on other elements. Other coverage pertains to methods of trace element research and quality assurance for trace element analysis. References are located at the end of each chapter Many mineral elements occur in living tissues in such small amounts that the early workers were unable to measure their precise concentrations with the analytical methods then available.
