The significance of zinc for leukocyte biology

1 Nov 1998

Abstract excerpt

Zinc is an essential element important for growth, the nervous system, and especially the immune system. Zinc deficiency as well as levels well above normal, due to high-dose treatment, showed an impaired immune function. This review summarizes the current status of zinc's significance for leukocyte biology and health. In detail, the physiology of zinc and the impaired immune functions in zinc deficiency...
