ABSTRACT
Trace element metabolism is regulated by numerous factors among which absorption plays a key role. Nutritional imbalances or diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract are therefore often implicated in the development of deficiency states. An overview of dietary factors linked to trace element metabolism and intestinal factors influencing absorption is given with special reference to zinc, copper and selenium.
