Evidence for the importance of zinc for all immune cells and for mounting an efficient and
balanced immune response to various environmental stressors has been accumulating in …

It is well recognized that zinc is an essential trace element, influencing growth and affecting
the development and integrity of the immune system. Research has begun to clarify the …

The significance of the essential trace element zinc for immune function has been known for
several decades. Zinc deficiency affects immune cells, resulting in altered host defense …

Zinc is known to be essential for all highly proliferating cells in the human body, especially
the immune system. A variety of in vivo and in vitro effects of zinc on immune cells mainly …

Even though zinc is essential for virtually all processes in the human body, observations
during zinc deficiency indicate that the absence of this trace element most severely affects …

Zinc is known to play a central role in the immune system, and zinc-deficient persons
experience increased susceptibility to a variety of pathogens. The immunologic mechanisms …

Recent years have brought a paradigm shift for the role of the essential trace element zinc in
immunity. Although its function as a structural component of many enzymes has been known …

Zinc is an essential trace element for the immune system, but also very important in other
organ systems. Every highly proliferating cell system is dependent on sufficient availability of …

The results of more than three decades of work indicate that zinc deficiency rapidly
diminishes antibody-and cell-mediated responses in both humans and animals. The …
