ABSTRACT
Knowledge of the metbolic importance of trace elements is expanding rapidly, and human populations are being identified who suffer from deficiencies of elements other than iron and iodine. The roles these highly reactive elements play are diverse. They range from incorporation into single specific molecules in single tissues to incorporation into many proteins in all tissues, incorporated into large molecules. Consideration of zinc and vanadium metabolism draws this contrast strikingly. It would be naive to think that these elements are not nutritionally important or that their metabolism merely represents a repetition of the iron story, but 50 years later (AU)
