Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Copper and manganese are both primarily metabolized in the liver, and liver disease can result in poor regulation of these minerals. Iron and zinc are not primarily metabolized in the liver, and selenium and molybdenum are typically not affected by liver disease. Iodine and chromium are not significantly metabolized in the liver and are unlikely to be affected by liver disease.
