“…At present, virtually nothing is known about the chemical form of the 'new er' trace elements in either hum an or animal diets, although the studies of Schwarz (1978) indicate that the organically bound Si found in meat and vegetable products is probably of higher availability than inorganic silicates. Similarly, little is known of interactions between the newer trace elements and other either toxic or essential trace elements, although past experience would indicate that these could be of significance in the nutrition of both man and animals (Davies 1979;Aggett & Davies 1980).…”

For an element to be considered essential it should satisfy three criteria: (1) it must be present in living matter; (2) it must be able to interact with living systems; (3) a dietary deficiency must consistently result in a reduction of a biological function, preventable or reversible by physiological amounts of the element. Ideally, essentiality should be established in more than one species and confirmed in more than one laboratory. Since 1970, vanadium, fluorine, silicon, nickel and arsenic have been shown to meet all the criteria listed above, and evidence from one laboratory has indicated that tin may have an essential biological role in the laboratory rat. A review is presented of the evidence on which the essentiality of these elements has been established and, when known, an indication of their biochemical functions. The possible significance of these 'newer' trace elements to the health of man and animals is discussed.

“…Remarkable advances have been made in trace mineral research, especially in the last decade (1). A number of elements, including zinc, have been found to be essential to man (2). Knowledge of interrelation ships between the actions of several nutrients in the body is growing.…”

INFORMATION TO USERSThis reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted.The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity.2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame.3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department.5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed.
