[Vanadium, an indispensable trace element in living organisms. Current data on biochemical, metabolic levels and therapeutic doses].
Having briefly analyzed the role of vanadium in living organisms, the author describes conditions induced by vanadium poisoning and deficit. The most recent acquisitions concerning the use of vanadium in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and its consequent role in the prevention of atherosclerosis are also illustrated.
