Metals have played an important role in medicine for years, ever
since humans have walked the planet. Many are essential in our
diets in varying quantities, although people have recently realized
their significance.Metal ions bond with ligands in some process, to
oxidize and reduce in biological systems.The important metal
present in the body is iron which plays a central role in all
living cells.Generally iron complexes are used in the transport of
oxygen in the blood and tissues. An adult at rest consumes 250ml of
pure oxygen per minute, this oxygen carried by the metal complex
transport system known as heme, allowing the oxygen to leave the
blood when it reaches the tissue. The heme group is metal complex,
with iron as central metal atom, which bind or release molecular
oxygen.
