Marginal dietary zinc deficiency in vivo induces vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis in large arteries.
AIMS Dietary zinc deficiency has been associated with the development of atherosclerosis although the effects on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), important in maintaining atherosclerotic plaque integrity, are unknown. The main aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of a zinc-deficient environment on VSMCs using an in vivo model. METHODS AND RESULTS Rats were maintained for 2 weeks...
متن کاملZinc and Oxidative Stress: Current Mechanisms
Oxidative stress is a metabolic dysfunction that favors the oxidation of biomolecules, contributing to the oxidative damage of cells and tissues. This consequently contributes to the development of several chronic diseases. In particular, zinc is one of the most relevant minerals to human health, because of its antioxidant properties. This review aims to provide updated information about the me...
متن کاملA role for the Drosophila zinc transporter Zip88E in protecting against dietary zinc toxicity
Zinc absorption in animals is thought to be regulated in a local, cell autonomous manner with intestinal cells responding to dietary zinc content. The Drosophila zinc transporter Zip88E shows strong sequence similarity to Zips 42C.1, 42C.2 and 89B as well as mammalian Zips 1, 2 and 3, suggesting that it may act in concert with the apically-localised Drosophila zinc uptake transporters to facili...
متن کاملZinc deficiency and oxidative stress in the retina of pigmented rats.
PURPOSE To determine the effect of moderate zinc deficiency on antioxidant defenses and measures of oxidative stress in the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of Brown Norway Rats. METHODS Twenty-four rats were housed individually and divided into three groups of 8 rats each. Group 1 was fed ad libitum a semipurified control diet formulated to contain 50 parts per million [ppm] total...
متن کاملCorrelation of Zinc with Oxidative Stress Biomarkers
Hypertension and smoking are related with oxidative stress (OS), which in turn reports on cellular aging. Zinc is an essential element involved in an individual's physiology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation of zinc levels in serum and urine with OS and cellular aging and its effect on the development of hypertension. In a Spanish sample with 1500 individuals, subjects aged 20...
