Abstract: Twelve papers from a 1981 clinical workshop address a number of issues in zinc (Zn) research that are ofparticular relevance to clinicians and health care professionals. Emphasis is placed on areas of fundamental Znresearch that have the greatest clinical importance, and on new findings that are directly related to human nutritional health. The papers cover: historical aspects of Zn in human nutrition; the role of Zn at particular human developmental stages (prenatal; maternal nutritional status and pregnancy outcome), and in total parenteral nutrition; clinical disorders of Zn deficiency, and its diagnosis by hair and plasma analysis; the presence and distribution of Zn in milk, and an assessment of current knowledge on the role of Zn in normal cellular function.
