title: Trace elements of the micropremie.
abstract: The current limited understanding of the ontogeny and mechanisms of the metabolism of iron, zinc, copper, selenium, iodine, and manganese in the micropremie are reviewed. The effects of early delivery on these processes are considered, as are the suggested amounts of these trace elements required for micropremies.
