The role of trace metals, especially copper and zinc, in the
pathogenesis of rheumatic conditions has continued to receive much
interest following the initial upsurge of research activity in the
1970s. Meantime also copper and zinc complexes receive continued
attention for their potential anti-inflam matory actions. Since the
previous major titles were published in this field some years ago
(e. g. 1,2) it was considered timely to consider progress which has
been made in the interceding period. Thus in this volume aspects
are re viewed of the metabolism and biodisposition of copper and
zinc, especially as they may be influenced by inflammatory
processes, the mode of action of copper and zinc compounds in
inflammatory states, and the actions of some newer copper
complexes. While we still understand relatively little about how
copper and zinc complexes work in inflammation, and indeed what the
fate of the ligands and their complexed ions is in inflammation, it
is hoped that this volume will be useful for giving a current view
of the "state of art" in the field. Special thanks are given to the
valued efforts of the contributors, Dr Peter Clarke (Publishing
Director, Kluwer Academic Publishers) and Mrs Veronica
Rainsford-Koechli for her help in proof-reading the manuscripts. K
