| Abstract;As essential ultra-trace elements to humans, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, selenium, iodine, and cobalt have been confirmed.In addtion to them, the other ultra-trace elements that are indicated to be possibly essential nutrients have been reported.Here the recent research on nickel as an ultra-trace nutrient was reviewed.Lack of nickel delayed the growth of rats and goats, and lowered the reproductive rate.Furthermore, it caused the following: Abnormality of the male reproductive function, hypertension, renal disturbance, and abnormality of the iron metabolism in rats; abnormality of the hepatocyte mitochondrial structure in chickens; and malignant homocystinemia in the vitamin B12-lacking pigs.It is known that nickel of the physiological concentration can stabilize the cyclic nucleotide-dependent cation channel(CNG).Therefore, symptoms due to the lack of nickel are probably related to the CNG function. |
