Zinc plays an essential role in numerous biochemical pathways. Zinc deficiency affects many organ systems, including the integumentary, gastrointestinal, central nervous system, immune, skeletal, and reproductive systems. This article aims to discuss zinc metabolism and highlights a few of the diseases associated with zinc deficiency.Zinc deficiency ...

Preventing and Controlling Zinc Deficiency Across the Life Course: A Call to Action [PDF]
Advances in NutritionThrough diverse roles, zinc determines a greater number of critical life functions than any other single micronutrient. Beyond the well-recognized importance of zinc for child growth and resistance to infections, zinc has numerous specific roles covering

To determine if there is a correlation between serum zinc levels and audiometric performance in tinnitus patients.Seventy-three patients participated in this study. Patient's age was restricted to 20-59 years. All patients were examined at the otolaryngology outpatient clinic of the St. Marianna University Toyoko Hospital.

An ex-preterm, exclusively breastfed baby with poor postnatal growth was evaluated at 5 months of age for perianal erosive dermatitis (figure 1) and foul stools. No other cutaneous involvement was present. Investigations showed mild zinc deficiency (65 μg/dL, range 68–107). Unfortunately, no maternal blood or breast milk zinc levels were available. The

Though far more common, particularly in elderly people, than was previously assumed, marginal zinc deficiency does not lead to the classical manifestations of zinc deficiency and is therefore difficult to diagnose. There is therefore a need for sensitive parameters that can reliably demonstrate even marginal zinc deficiency, as suboptimal zinc status ...

The Journal of Nutrition, 1981
Two experiments were conducted to produce Zn deficiency in, and to establish approximate Zn requirements of, the cat. In experiment 1, soy protein (SP)-based diets were fed for 8 months: diet 1, basal, without added Zn, 15 ppm; diet 2, basal, 15 ppm Zn plus 2% CaHPO4; and diet 3, basal with added Zn, 67 ppm.

Pediatrics, 1986
To the Editor.— Kumar and Anday1 describe three premature infants presenting with edema and hypoproteinemia—the classical signs of kwashiorkor—between 5 and 9 weeks of age. Such cases are not uncommon in developing countries. Kumar and Anday's patients had low plasma zinc concentrations (43, 37, and 42 µg/dL).

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1984
To the Editor.— Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a complex disease. A multifactorial model is receiving strong support from investigators suggesting that the disease is a cumulative process following exposure to multiple injuries to the immune system. Furthermore, it is likely that all cases of AIDS are not from the same set of causes.

In 1869, Raulin1first showed that zinc was essential for the growth ofAspergillus niger. In 1926, its essentiality for higher forms of plant life was established.2Todd and coworkers3(1934) showed that zinc was necessary for the growth and well being of the rat. In 1955, Tucker and Salmon4reported that Zinc cures and prevents parakeratosis in swine. The
