Is an essential element that forms part of several enzymes such as xanthine oxidase involved in the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid and use of iron. Molybdenum concentrations also affect protein synthesis, metabolism, and growth. Dietary sources include meat, green beans, eggs, sunflower seeds, wheat flour, lentils, and cereal grain.<\/p>\n
A metallic trace element.<\/p>\n
An essential mineral; serves as a cofactor for xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, and sulfate oxidase. High intakes of molybdenum increase copper excretion.<\/p>\n
Molybdenum is a micromineral that can be found in foods such as legumes, whole grains, meat, fish, and poultry. It is required for the catabolism of nucleic acids. In particular, molybdenum is needed for the function of xanthine dehydrogenase and xanthine oxidase, which are involved in purine degradation. A role for molybdenum supplementation in athletes has not been established.<\/p>\n
A hard, heavy, metallic element; atomic weight 95.94, atomic number 42. It is a trace element crucial to plant nutrition and is found in certain enzymes, including xanthine oxidase.<\/p>\n
