Several nutrients are known to act on the metabolism of other nutrients and also of some non-nutrient substances. The nutritional importance that may be attributed to these interrelationships depends on the levels considered to be physiological for each nutrient, and on their maintenance at acceptable levels in tissues for the defense of the organism. Interaction of vitamins and minerals has been described in several metabolic situations and continues to be investigated by many authors. This interaction occurs in different ways, i.e. starting from the action of vitamins on mineral metabolism, from the action of both types of nutrients in the protection of the organism, and from the action of minerals on vitamin metabolism. The most significant example of vitamin action on mineral metabolism is the role played by vitamin D in calcium and phosphorus metabolism. The interrelationship of vitamin C and some minerals is also discussed, with emphasis on its relationship with iron. With respect to the synergistic action of vitamins and minerals in the defense of the organism, we comment on the main data reported on the biochemical-physiological role of vitamin E and its interaction with selenium. Finally, in reference to the action of minerals on vitamin metabolism, we point out the interaction existing between vitamin A and zinc. Data observed by the author at the experimental level in laboratory animals are reported on the possible interaction of niacin, vitamin B6 and zinc.
已知几种营养素会作用于其他营养素以及一些非营养物质的代谢。这些相互关系的营养重要性取决于每种营养素被认为是生理水平的程度，以及它们在组织中维持在可接受水平以保护机体的情况。维生素和矿物质的相互作用已在多种代谢情况下被描述，并且仍有许多作者在进行研究。这种相互作用以不同方式发生，即从维生素对矿物质代谢的作用、两种营养素在保护机体方面的作用以及矿物质对维生素代谢的作用开始。维生素对矿物质代谢作用的最显著例子是维生素D在钙和磷代谢中所起的作用。还讨论了维生素C与一些矿物质的相互关系，重点是其与铁的关系。关于维生素和矿物质在保护机体方面的协同作用，我们评论了关于维生素E的生化生理作用及其与硒相互作用的主要报道数据。最后，关于矿物质对维生素代谢的作用，我们指出了维生素A与锌之间存在的相互作用。作者在实验动物身上观察到的关于烟酸、维生素B6和锌可能相互作用的数据也进行了报道。
