, 2021 Since the discovery of manifest Zn deficiency in 1961, the increasing number of studies demonstrated the association between altered Zn status and multiple diseases. In this chapter, we provide a review of the most recent advances on the role of Zn in health and disease (2010-20), with a special focus on the role of Zn in neurodegenerative and ...

The Zinc Finger Protein ZNF658 Regulates the Transcription of Genes Involved in Zinc Homeostasis and Affects Ribosome Biogenesis through the Zinc Transcriptional Regulatory Element [PDF]
, 2015 We previously identified the ZTRE (zinc transcriptional regulatory element) in genes involved in zinc homeostasis and showed that it mediates transcriptional repression in response to zinc. We now report that ZNF658 acts at the ZTRE.

Zinc, zinc transporters and diabetes [PDF]
Diabetologia, 2010 The role of zinc in islet function has recently achieved new attention as a consequence of the identification of zinc transporter 8 (ZNT8) in islets, and the association of mutations in the gene for this zinc transporter with glucose intolerance and type 2 diabetes. ZNT8 is also an autoantigen associated with the appearance of type 1 diabetes. A number

A method for measuring meaningful physiological variables in fish blood without surgical cannulation
Scientific Reports, 2023 Gaining meaningful blood samples from water-breathing fish is a significant challenge. Two main methods typically used are grab ‘n’ stab and surgical cannulation. Both methods have benefits, but also significant limitations under various scenarios.

Zinc Gluconate in the Treatment of Dysgeusia—a Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]
, 2005 In the treatment of dysgeusia, the use of zinc has been frequently tried, with equivocal results. The aim of the present randomized clinical trial, which involved a sufficiently large sample, was therefore to determine the efficacy of zinc treatment ...
