CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE IMPLICATIONS OF BIOMETALS IN MEDICINE

Abstract

Many diseases are associated with changes in the concentrations of the metal ions from the tissues or body fluids. Complex control systems supervise and maintain the metalic ions in normal concentrations in the body. Influencing the systems responsible for the control of metal ions leads to illnesses sometimes with a genetic trait. In the papers are presented aspects the biological role of the metal ions and the possible applications of the biometals in medicine.
