Trace minerals in paediatric gastroenterology: zinc and copper
Arq Gastroenterol.
1979 Oct-Dec.
Abstract
A number of aspects of zinc and copper metabolism are relevant in the clinical practice of pediatric gastroenterology. Although the diagnosis of zinc and copper deficiency is problematic, deficiencies and altered metabolism of these two nutrients are seen in a host of hepatic and intestinal diseases of childhood. Several medical and surgical interventions can adversely affect zinc and copper nutriture as well. Continuing scientific research into the biology of zinc and copper will provide new insights into the pathophysiology of pediatric gastrointestinal diseases.
