“…Genetic muscular dystrophy is characterized by progressive muscular weakness and atrophy and necrosis of the skeletal muscle (Revis et al, 1979). The disease in genetically dystrophic mice and chickens is thought to resemble that in humans in several respects, and it cannot be reversed by the addition of Se to the diet.…”

The genetic and nongenetic factors affecting the elemental composition of animal and human tissues are presented. Genetic factors include: (1) some well-known inherited diseases that affect copper, zinc, iron, magnesium, manganese and selenium metabolism; (2) animal species differences and (3) breed differences within animal species. The nongenetic factors include regional variation, dietary concentration of elements, interactions between elements, dietary concentration of other nutrients, chemical form of elements, age, sex, hormones, pregnancy, disease, temperature and altitude.
