Book excerpt: Abstract: A compilation of the latest research findings considers the current status of knowledge regarding absorption and malabsorption of specific trace mineral nutrients. Seven of the 9 text papers discuss individual minerals; viz., Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, Se, and Cr. An introductory paper reviews and discusses possible physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms involved or induced in mineral nutrient uptake. The final text paper reviews available data reported for the absorption and malabsorption of a number of other trace minerals: Mn, Mo, V, Ni, Si, and arsenic. Nutritional importance, dietary factors, clinical topics, therapeutic and toxicological considerations, and experimental and clinical procedures for quantifying dietary mineral uptake in humans and animals are discussed throughout the text.
