Trace Elements in Laboratory Rodents Summary

Trace Elements in Laboratory Rodents by Ronald R. Watson

Written by the international community's leading experts, Trace Elements in Laboratory Rodents describes the best and most current methods to provide deficient or supplemental trace elements to laboratory animals, as well as how to assay them. The experts warn of the common pitfalls and hidden problems in nutritional testing and how to avoid them. This how-to approach focuses on the technical details that make good, reliable studies. Common as well as rare or recently recognized minerals are described relating to both dietary supplementation and measurement in tissues.
If you are a researcher, professor, or student working in nutrition, food science, biochemistry, or veterinary medicine, you can't afford to be without this excellent hands-on methods manual!

Trace Elements in Laboratory Rodents Reviews

"...a 'how-to-do book' that weould be a welcome addition in any nutritional or toxicological scientist's lib rary....Ronald Watson has done a marvelous job in assembling 21 detailed chapters into a comprehensive reference....a great text for those who need a resource that focuses on the details. This book will serve as a key reference resource for the researcher, nutritionalist, toxicologist, and veterinary or animal care person. In addition, it could serve well as a supplemental book for a graduate course on nutrition and trace elements."
-Environmental Nutrition International
"Designed for the researcher with a focus on laboratory and field nutritional research."
- Ira Wolinsky, Series Editor
