The book also describes the roles played by chromium and other metals in carcinogenesis; the morphologic pathology of metal toxicosis; and metal ion overload due to inborn metabolic defects, as well as to excessive environmental exposure. Research findings at the molecular, cellular, and organ levels are reviewed. Physiologists, biochemists, pathologists, and biophysicists will find the book invaluable.
