Changing Metal Cycles and Human Health Report of the Dahlem Workshop on Changing Metal Cycles and Human Health, Berlin 1983, March 20–25

of metal interactions with subcellular biochemical systems usually either are metabolites of the system affected (porphyrinurias) or represent some specific function of a cellular system being impaired (proteinurias). One typically finds a continuum of symptoms, from the subtle or so-called "no...
