  1. Lecture 8b MINERALS-I MINOR MINERALS 29 October 2012

  2. IRON FUNCTIONS- OXYGEN TRANSPORT- BLOOD AND MUSCLE SOURCES-RED MEATS, TOFU, BREAD DEFICIENCIES-LOWER IMMUNITY, WEAKNESS FATIGUE, PALE NAILBEDS TOXICITIES-INCREASED INFECTION RISK -ORGAN DAMAGE

  3. ZINC FUNCTIONS-TISSUE GROWTH AND WOUND HEALING, PART OF MANY ENZYMES IN ENERGY AND NUCLEIC ACID METABOLISM IMMUNE FUNCTION, VITAMIN A TRANSPORT, INSULIN FUNCTION SOURCES-MEAT, FISH, POULTRY, BEANS

  4. ZINC DEFICIENCIES-FUNCTION IMPAIRMENT EG ABNORMAL GLUCOSE TRANSPORT TOXICITIES-ELEVATED BAD CHOLESTEROL AND DECREASED GOOD CHOLESTEROL, VOMITING, IMPAIRED CALCIUM ABSORPTION

  5. IODINE FUNCTIONS-PART OF THYROID HORMONES THAT REGULATE GROWTH DEVELOPMENT AND METABOLIC RATE SOURCES-SEAFOOD, IODIZED SALT, BREAD DEFICIENCIES-WEIGHT GAIN, LETHARGY TOXICITIES-ENLARGED THYROID GLAND

  6. SELENIUM FUNCTIONS-ANTIOXIDANT SOURCES-SEAFOOD, LIVER, GRAINS FROM SELENIUM RICH SOIL DEFICIENCIES-HEART DISEASE TOXICITIES-NAUSEA, VOMITING, NERVE DAMAGE

  7. COPPER FUNCTIONS-HEMOGLOBIN FORMATION, PART OF SEVERAL ENZYMES, USED IN ENERGY METABOLISM SOURCES-ORGAN MEATS, SEAFOOD, NUTS DEFICIENCIES- RARE-ANEMIA TOXICITIES-VOMITING, DIARRHEA

  8. MANGANESE FUNCTIONS-PART OF ENZYMES IN FAT SYNTHESIS, GROWTH, AND BLOOD CLOTTING SOURCES -WIDELY DISTRIBUTED IN FOODS DEFICIENCIES -RARE TOXICITIES – RARE -NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS

  9. FLUORIDE FUNCTIONS-TOOTH ENAMEL MAINTENANCE, RESISTANCE TO DENTAL DECAY,BONE FORMATION AND INTEGRITY SOURCES-FLUORIDATED WATER(NATURAL OR OTHERWISE, TEA) DEFICIENCIES-TEETH DECAY, OSTEOPOROSIS TOXICITIES –MOTTLING OF TEETH, NAUSEA, VOMITING

  10. CHROMIUM FUNCTIONS-CO-FACTOR FOR INSULIN SOURCES-MEAT, WHOLE GRAIN, NUTS,CHEESE DEFICIENCIES-INSULIN RESISTANCE, IMPAIRED GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TOXICITIES-DIETARY UNKNOWN- -OCCUPATIONAL-CHROMIUM DUST-SKIN AND KIDNEY DAMAGE

  11. MOLYBDENUM FUNCTIONS-COMPONENT OF MANY ENZYMES- WORKS WITH RIBOFLAVIN TO INCORPORATE IRON INTO HEMOGLOBIN SOURCES –MILK, LEGUMES, BREAD, GRAINS DEFICIENCIES- UNKNOWN TOXICITIES-OCCUPATIONAL- GOUT LIKE SYMPTOMS
