Boron levels in man: preliminary evidence of genetic regulation and some implications for human biology.

Abstract excerpt

Boron is a ubiquitous constituent of man's external environment. Levels of the element in human blood reflect both acute and chronic exposure, usually as dietary intake (food and drinking water). There is an absolute requirement for boron in vascular plants but evidence for biological essentiality in animals (including man) is limited. A high body burden of the element may be harmful, especially to young animals...
