Investigation
of the biological role of trace elements and minerals (TEM) has gained
outstanding importance in the life sciences. Elements present even at
minimal concentrations in biological and environmental matrices, in
fact, can exert fundamental influence on vital functions depending on
their amounts and species. It is also worth stressing, in this context
that new trace elements are being added to the list of those that are
known or suspected to be essential. The Federation of European Societies
on Trace Elements and Minerals (FESTEM) was founded in 1997, under the
initiative of three societies from Italy (AISETOV), Germany (GMS) and
from French speaking countries (SFERETE). Two other societies joined the
Federation in 2002, one from Spain (SEQCET) and one from Russia
(RUSTEM). The printed source of FESTEM, Journal of Trace Elements in
Medicine and Biology, founded in 1987 by Peter Braetter, Jurgen D.
Kruse-Jarres and Ingrid Lombeck, is one of the most reputable periodical
issues on TEM research. Since the FESTEM foundation, four Federation’s
symposiums were successfully held in Venice (Italy), Neuherberg – Munich
(Germany), Santiago de Compostela (Spain) and Saint Petersburg
(Russia). Scientific Topics are: - Nutrition
- Supplementation
- Analyses
- Molecular Biology
- Mitochondrial function
- Epidemiology
- Childhood
- Pregnancy
- Ageing
- Sport and physical exercise
- Dermatology and cosmetology
- Pathologies
- Inherited disorders
- Intensive care
- Environment
- Toxicology
- Animals
