Produktbeschreibung

International Review of Neurobiology, Supplement 1: Neurobiology of the Trace Metals Zinc and Copper represents a first report in the study of the neurobiology of zinc and copper. Topics covered by this supplementary volume include the effects of zinc deficiency; the link between acute stress and trace element metabolism; the effects of trace elements on behavior; the pathophysiology of zinc; and the role of copper in schizophrenia.
This book consists of seven chapters and begins with a historical overview of zinc deficiency syndrome in humans, followed by a discussion on the metabolism of zinc, effects of its deficiency, and its biochemical functions. Gross congenital malformations in zinc-deficient rats are highlighted. The reader is then introduced to the effect of acute stress on the metabolism of a trace element; the importance of trace elements to development and behavior; and the biological effect(s) of zinc. The next chapter is devoted to idiopathic hypogeusia with dysgeusia, hyposmia, and dysosmia, its symptoms, clinical pathology, and treatment.
This monograph will be of value to neurobiologists, biochemists, and nutritionists.
