Molybdenum Toxicity
Introduction
Molybdenum (Mo) is a component of coenzymes necessary for the activity of xanthine oxidase, sulfite oxidase, and aldehyde oxidase. A case of molybdenum toxicity may have occurred in 1961; it caused goutlike symptoms and abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys. (See also Overview of Minerals .)
