As a consequence a wide  variety of symptoms may occur in different states of zinc deficiency.  Several diseases of the digestive tract can lead to zinc deficiency  and consequently to deficiency symptoms. \u003cbr\u003e  This book, the proceedings of an International Falk Workshop held in  Freiburg, Germany, on 27 October 1996, aims at a dialogue between  basic researchers and gastroenterologists in order to improve the  understanding of the role of zinc in disorders of the digestive tract.  Based on lectures on the role of zinc in cell biology, the  pathophysiology of zinc deficiency and consequently the possibilities  of zinc substitution in these disorders is discussed. It is hoped that  this book will initiate fruitful discussions and collaborations  leading to a better knowledge of the role of this trace element in  gastroenterology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792387244\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 128.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541625204876,"sku":"9780792387244","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792387244.jpg?v=1759288262","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792387244","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
