Tissue Trace Element Shifts by Acute and Chronic Exposure to Chemicals, and Its Prevention

抄録

1) Tissue trace elements were influenced by heavy metal exposure.

2) Tissue trace element shifts were related to the mechanism of health effects of metals.

3) Supplementation of trace element alleviated health effects of metals, while their element deficiency agg_ravated the health effects.

4) Tissue trace elements were shifted by organic solvent exposure or stress as well.

5) Aging is generally accompanied with trace element insufficiencies, which aggravated health effects of environmental or occupational contaminants.

6) It is recommended, therefore, to take diet supplemented with trace elements, especially for aged people.
