The essential metals for humans: a brief overview

Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2019
The human body needs about 20 essential elements in order to function properly and among them, for certain, 10 are metal elements, though for every metal we do need, there is another one in our body we could do without it. Until about 1950 poor attention was given to the so-called "inorganic elements" and while researches on "organic elements" (C, N, O

TOXIC AND ESSENTIAL METAL INTERACTIONS

Annual Review of Nutrition, 1997
▪ Abstract  Cadmium, lead, mercury, and aluminum are toxic metals that may interact metabolically with nutritionally essential metals. Iron deficiency increases absorption of cadmium, lead, and aluminum. Lead interacts with calcium in the nervous system to impair cognitive development.

Essential trace metals in man: Molybdenum

Journal of Chronic Diseases, 1970
A survey of human exposures to molybdenum, a trace metal essential for almost all forms of life, was made by analyzing human tissues of 381 subjects from around the world by emission spectroscopy, and foods and beverages by a colorimetric method. Molybdenum was present in all human livers, kidneys and adrenals examined.

Essential and Non-Essential Metals and Metalloids and Their Role in Atherosclerosis

Cardiovascular Toxicology
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is becoming more prevalent in the aging developed world and can have significant functional impacts on patients. There is a recent recognition that environmental toxicants such as circulating metals and metalloids may contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic disease, but the mechanisms are complex.

Toxicity and Carcinogenicity of Essential and Non-essential Metals

1984
The major toxic effects of selected metals and their compounds have been considered, along with discussions of their essentiality, distribution and environmental exposure. The carcinogenic and mutagenic properties of these metals are discussed in detail with critical consideration of epidemiological and in vitro studies conducted with these metals and ...

Essential trace metals in man: Copper

Journal of Chronic Diseases, 1966
COPPER, atomic number 29, has played a dominant role in civilization since the Stone Age. Attractive to the eye, malleable and ductile, found native and in many minerals, copper was probably the first metal worked by ancient man some 7000 to 8000 years ago.
