ROLE OF MICROELEMENTS IN INFLAMMATORY DISEASES OF GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

Abstract

This article reviews the role of some microelements in functioning of antioxidant systems of child’s organism. It’s marked, that disorders in children’s nutrition, including deficiency of zinc, selenium and vitamins in ration may lead to some severe diseases of gastrointestinal tract. Balanced dietary intake, including milk foods, fortified by zinc, allows preventing a development of chronic diseases, especially in children in period of social and biological adaptation.
Key words: children, microelements, nutrition.
