Advances in Isotope Methods for the Analysis of Trace Elements in Man

Edited By Malcolm Jackson, Nicola Lowe Copyright 2001

    There is increasing evidence that even minute amounts of trace elements can have profound effects on the human body. Advances in Isotope Methods for the Analysis of Trace Elements in Man describes new methods that are being developed to understand normal and abnormal trace element nutrition and metabolism.
