Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc and immune function: the biological basis of altered resistance to infection.
TL;DR: Parts of zinc biology of the immune system are explored and a biological basis for the altered host resistance to infections observed during zinc deficiency and supplementation is attempted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Syndrome of iron deficiency anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, hypogonadism, dwarfism and geophagia.
TL;DR: Prolonged follow-up of patients receiving a well balanced diet indicates that the endocrine abnormalities of growth and sexual development are reversible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc in human health: effect of zinc on immune cells.
TL;DR: The studies in the cell culture models showed that the activation of many zinc-dependent enzymes and transcription factors were adversely affected due to zinc deficiency, and zinc supplementation decreased oxidative stress markers and generation of inflammatory cytokines.
Journal Article
Zinc: an overview
TL;DR: Assays of Zn in granulocytes and lymphocytes provide better diagnostic criteria for marginal Zn deficiency than plasma Zn, and it is suspected that several hundred Zn-containing nucleoproteins are probably involved in gene expression of various proteins.
