Abstract: Microelements take the most active part in many vital processes occurring in living organisms at the molecular level. Acting through the enzyme system, microelements can stimulate or inhibit growth, development and reproductive functions. At present, the medical aspects of the doctrine of microelementoses have not yet been sufficiently developed. The facts and statements related to it are scattered in publications in various disciplines. This creates great difficulties in attempts to systematize them. Some important sections of the pathology of microelementoses still remain unstudied. In order to fill them, long-term and multifaceted research work is needed. Studying the importance of microelements in metabolism is necessary to identify new opportunities for health management, since microelements can act as both specific and non-specific regulators of metabolism.
