The effect of a zinc deficiency and alcohol intake during gestation in the rat
The effect of alcohol and/or zinc deficiency was evaluated in seven groups of pregnant rats and their pups. Females which had been acclimated to alcohol before breeding were fed liquid alcohol diets with either 14 or 0.1 ppm Zn. Comparisons were made with animals pair fed isocaloric liquid …

Macronutrient Intake, Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor and Somatostatin During Zinc Deficiency and Repletion in Rats
The biochemical mechanisms contributing to 'zinc deficiency-induced anorexia' are not understood, although the recent discovery of hypothalamic appetite-controlling neuropeptides suggests that this anorexia may ultimately be explained within the brain. In a series of experiments, we have …

High Prevalence of Zinc Deficiency and Stunting Found in Children Aged 6-60 Months in Rural Honduras
<p><strong>Background:</strong> Zinc is an essential trace mineral and its importance in growth and immune function has been established in young children; however, little is known about the prevalence of zinc deficiency in Honduras.<br /><strong>Purpose:</strong> The purpose was to determine 1) …

Roles of Zinc in Skeletal Muscle Cells Growth
Zinc deficiency impairs skeletal muscle growth in both humans and animals independently of decreased food intake. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) is the primary regulator of postnatal muscle growth and there is substantial evidence that the effects of zinc deficiency alter IGF mediated muscle …

Einfluss eines kontrollierten Zinkmangels auf die Proteinexpression im Heilungsprozess intestinaler Anastomosen der Ratte
… a functional scar. Its regulation is ruled by zinc-dependent proteases (MMPs), which them-selves are regulated by other factors such as TIMPs. A negative zinc balance can disturb the function of MMPs and suppress wound healing. The influence of zinc on physiologic function of the factors, …

Essays on the Economics of Food and Agricultural Technology
… The results show significant reductions in zinc deficiency and improvements in selected biomarkers, with effects varying by rice formulation and micronutrient composition. Significant heterogeneity is observed by child characteristics, including sex, age, and baseline nutritional status. …

Zinc and essential fatty acid status and supplementation in cystic fibrosis patients
… the benefit for the patient is not yet known. Zinc and essential fatty acids mutually influence each other and are important in inflammation and immunity. Chapter 2 summarises the research objectives. In chapter 3 we focus on the zinc status, first by means of the serum zinc concentration. The …

REGULATORY MECHANISMS OF SLC39A4 (ZIP4) AND SLC39A5 (ZIP5) IN THE ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO ZINC AVAILABILITY
… how Zip4 and Zip5 are regulated in response to zinc availability and how Zip4 impacts development. Loss of Zip4 resulted in embryonic lethality. Heterozygosity negatively affected eye, heart, and brain development. Excess zinc did not rescue lethality but ameliorated the heterozygous effects. …

Die Regulation der Zinktransporter und ihr Einfluss auf die intrazelluläre Zinkhomöostase in Leukocyten
Zinc is an essential trace element for the immune system. During this work, important mechanisms regarding the intracellular zinc homeostasis and its influence on intracellular signal transduction in mononuclear cells could be elucidated. The analysis of the expression of zinc exporters, together …

Pregnancy and parturition in rats on a zinc deficient diet with varying levels of tryptophan
… mg tryptophan/100 g and either 7.5 ppm or 50 ppm zinc. Dams on the low zinc diets throughout gestation consumed less food and gained less weight than those on the high zinc diets. Reproductive success was less on the low zinc diet. The incidences of maternal mortality, fetal mortality, and …

Airway inflammation, diagnosis, perception of asthma, and sputum zinc levels in a community cohort.
… been mounting research establishing the role of zinc as an immunomodulator in asthma. Mouse models have demonstrated that zinc deficiency is associated with airway eosinophilia. Two pools of zinc exist in the body: largely fixed, enzyme-bound zinc, and free or labile zinc, the biologically active …

Identification of novel components of the zinc homeostasis mechanism in Arabidopsis thaliana
Zinc is the second most widely used transition metal in living systems. It is mainly involved in catalytic processes; it has also structural role in different proteins. Besides its widespread use in living systems zinc deficiency is one of the prevalent malnutrition challenges. Current estimates …
