1850年,法国植物学家查廷发现甲状腺肿与缺碘有关,并指出碘可予防这种疾病。1912年,威尔逊又描述了以他的名字命名的一种疾病——威尔逊病,此病以慢性血铜过低症(Hypocupremia)和血浆铜蛋白过低症(Hypocerulopasminemia)为特征,并与组织中的铜浓度增加相联系。一百多年来,特别是近年来,微量元素对人体健康的影响越来越受到生物医学工作者的重视。目前生化学家正把注意力转向微量元素对癌生长和发育的影响。微量元素的不平衡,对疾 In 1850, French botanist Chartin discovered that goitre was related to iodine deficiency, and pointed out that iodine can prevent this disease. In 1912, Wilson described another disease named after him, Wilson’s disease, characterized by chronic hypo-hypocupremia and Hypocerulopasminemia, and in tissues. The increase in copper concentration is linked. For more than one hundred years, especially in recent years, the influence of trace elements on human health has been increasingly valued by biomedical workers. Biochemists are now turning their attention to the effects of trace elements on cancer growth and development. Trace element imbalance, to disease
