Description

Introduction Trace elements are nutrients present in the body in very low concentrations. Some of these trace elements are essential to normal body functions while others are non-essential and may be toxic when present in increased amounts. When essential trace elements are removed from the body, a biochemical abnormality occurs that can be corrected by adding the deficient element back to the diet. Toxic trace elements are found in the environment, interrupt biochemical processes when found in the tissues in abnormally high concentrations, and the effect can be fatal. Essential trace elements include chromium, copper, fluorine, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc. Toxic trace elements include aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury (Kaplan, Pesche, & Kazmierczak, 2003). This paper will focus on two diseases associated with the essential trace element copper: Wilson's Disease (WD) and Menkes' Kinky Hair Syndrome (MKHS).
