Trace metal requirements in total parenteral nutrition: A theoretical approach by mathematical modeling

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A new computer-based approach has been developed to assess the optimal doses of essential trace metal ions which should be included in nutritive mixtures, used in human total parenteral nutrition, to compensate for the ligand-induced losses of these metal ions. An example of application is given for zinc, copper and manganese.
