Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc and diabetes--clinical links and molecular mechanisms.
TL;DR: The influence of zinc on the diabetic state including the molecular mechanisms, the role of the zinc transporter 8 and MT for diabetes development and the resulting diagnostic and therapeutic options are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Altered cytokine production in the elderly
TL;DR: In the elderly there seems to be a dysregulation in the TH1/TH2-system which is predominated by TH2-functions resulting in an altered immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc and respiratory tract infections: Perspectives for COVID19 (Review).
Anatoly V. Skalny,Lothar Rink,Olga P. Ajsuvakova,Michael Aschner,Viktor A. Gritsenko,Svetlana I. Alekseenko,Andrey A. Svistunov,Demetrios Petrakis,Demetrios A. Spandidos,Jan Aaseth,Aristidis Tsatsakis,Alexey A. Tinkov +11 more
TL;DR: Signs suggest that zinc status may possess protective effect as preventive and adjuvant therapy of COVID-19 through reducing inflammation, improvement of mucociliary clearance, prevention of ventilator-induced lung injury, modulation of antiviral and antibacterial immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Significance of Zinc-Related Signaling Pathways in Immune Cells
Hajo Haase,Lothar Rink +1 more
TL;DR: The interactions of zinc with major signaling pathways that regulate immune cell activity, and the implications of zinc deficiency or supplementation on zinc signaling as the molecular basis for an effect of zinc on immune cell function are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The immune system and the impact of zinc during aging
Hajo Haase,Lothar Rink +1 more
TL;DR: Oral zinc supplementation demonstrates the potential to improve immunity and efficiently downregulates chronic inflammatory responses in the elderly, and indicates that a wide prevalence of marginal zinc deficiency in elderly people may contribute to immunosenescence.
