This comprehensive book provides a stateoftheart overview of the
role of zinc as an essential trace element in human diet and its
effect on human health. Since no storage system for zinc exists in
the body, humans depend on daily intake and severe zinc deficiency
is a problem in the developing world, whilst marginal zinc
deficiency is a problem of developed countries. The first three
chapters are an introduction to zinc research and its significance
in human health. Six chapters follow on the role of zinc in
cellular and molecular processes, their significance for an
understanding of zinc biology and the measurement of zinc within
these systems. The main section of the book, on zinc in health and
disease, consists of 18 chapters on the specific role of zinc in
different organ systems and connected diseases and the relevance of
zinc in pregnancy, development and aging. Zinc in Human Health ends
with conclusions from transporter mutations for zinc physiology and
a perspective on the future of zinc research. All of these
contributions have been written by leaders in their respective
fields. This is the first book to cover the subject comprehensively
for 20 years.
