Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dear Colleagues,Trace elements are required by the human body in an amount of less than <100 mg/day. However, despite the very low content inside the cells, their biological role is extremely important. The disruption of trace element status has been indicated in many diseases, and their deficiency or excess in human nutrition is associated with various diseases, for example, liver pathology or neurodegenerative diseases. At the same time, even with an adequate consumption, abnormalities of trace elements metabolism, redistribution, and tissue accumulation as a result of the pathological process are possible. Given the growing amount of acute or chronic toxicity associated with environmental pollution, occupational exposure, irrational use of pesticides, etc. this Special Issue on “Trace Elements and Metabolic Disorders: From Diagnosis to Prognosis and Treatment” also calls for studies on trace elements as possible endocrine disruptors, neurotoxicants, or other negative healthy effectors. Modern methods of analysis allow us to deepen our knowledge about their role in health and disease. The data about serum, hair, or tissue trace element content can be used for effective management of diseases in clinical practice, for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of the related disorders.
