Overview
The trace elements modulate many physiologic functions and have doubtless importance for the development of bone in foetal period, childhood and adolescence, as well as for integrity of the adult skeleton. Some of them have an osteoprotective effect (zinc), while others are toxic (cadmium, chromium, cobalt). Measurement of trace element concentrations in body fluids (blood and urine) or in tissues (hairs and bone) enables us to identify subjects at risk of osteoporotic fractures as a consequence of nutrition deficiency. The article reviews the current understanding of the role of trace elements in bone physiology.
Key words:
bone, copper, zinc, boron, fluor, magnesium, manganese, cobalt, chromium, cadmium.
