Proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Trace  Elements in Man and Animals (TEMA 10), held May 2-7, 1999, in Evian,  France.   This volume containing the proceedings of the tenth of the highly  successful TEMA meetings, presents recent progress in the research on  the functional role and metabolism of trace elements, and new  developments in the understanding of molecular and cellular biology.  Various contributions providing new data on zinc and copper transport  mechanisms, enable a global view of the molecular metabolism of these  metals in the human body, whilst other particularly dramatic results  presented here offer new perspectives on the epidemiology of trace  elements deficiency and supplementation. Also included are the results  of recent major trials demonstrating the beneficial effect of selenium  on human health. The spectacular growth of interest in the field of  selenium, with the discovery of new selenoproteins and biological  roles, is represented here along with the other areas of particular  progress the research into boron and chromium, which have marked this  year's meeting.
