Abstract
Several reviews have been published recently on the toxicity of heavy metals, but few of these have made any reference to the influence of the nutritional state of animals upon their tolerance of heavy metals. Furthermore, the clinical and metabolic changes occurring as a consequence of increased dietary intake of heavy metals are extremely dependent on factors such as the mineral composition of the diet and nature of the protein source. These aspects will be given particular attention in this review.Keywords
