Zinc

From The Article In Wikipedia... Jan 20, 2009

Biological role

Zinc is an essential trace element, necessary for sustaining all animal life. It is a key factor in prostate gland function and reproductive organ growth. It is estimated that 3,000 of the hundreds of thousands of proteins in the human body contain zinc prosthetic groups, one type of which is the so-called zinc finger, and most of zinc is contained in muscles and bones.

In addition, there are over a dozen types of cells in the human body that secrete zinc ions, and the roles of these secreted zinc signals in medicine and health are now being actively studied. Zinc ions are now considered to be neurotransmitters. Cells in the salivary gland, prostate, immune system and intestine use zinc signaling.

Zinc is found in oysters, and to a far lesser degree in most animal proteins, beans, nuts, almonds, whole grains, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and blackcurrant. A turkey's neck and beef's chuck or shank also contain significant amounts of zinc.

Phytates, which are found in whole grain breads, cereals, legumes and other products, have been known to decrease zinc absorption. Clinical studies have found that zinc, combined with antioxidants, may delay progression of age-related macular degeneration.

Deficiency

Zinc deficiency occurs where insufficient zinc is available for metabolic needs.

It is usually nutritional, but can also be associated with malabsorption, acrodermatitis enteropathica, chronic liver disease, chronic renal disease, sickle cell disease, diabetes, malignancy, and other chronic illnesses.

Animals with a diet deficient in zinc require twice as much food to attain the same weight gain as animals given sufficient zinc.

Evidence suggests that zinc supplements prevent disease and reduce mortality, especially among children with low-birth weight or stunted growth. However, zinc supplements should not be administered alone, since many in the developing world have several deficiencies, and zinc interacts with other micronutrients. *

Zinc administered within 24 hours of onset of symptoms reduces the duration and severity of the common cold in healthy people.

When supplemented for at least five months, zinc reduces cold incidence, school absenteeism and prescription of antibiotics in children.

It is suspected that zinc acetate lozenges shorten the duration of cold symptoms by reducing inflammatory cytokines.

Zinc lozenges definitively shorten the duration and severity of cold symptoms.

Zinc plays a key role in synaptic plasticity and so in learning.
