- Abstract
The article examines the bone-related role of vanadium in mammals and the mineralogenic effect of vanadate in fish. Previous studies conducted in sheep, chicken and rodents revealed that bone is the main site of deposition of vanadium and this is dependent on dietary intake. Other studies have shown the development of severe bone deformities in animals fed with a diet enriched or deficient in vanadium. Also discussed are the pathways involved in vanadium intracellular signalling.
