Zinc and diabetes--clinical links and molecul... [J Nutr Biochem. 2009] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  • Zinc supplementation of animals and humans has been shown to ameliorate glycemic control in type 1 and 2 diabetes, the two major forms of diabetes mellitus, but the underlying molecular mechanisms have only slowly been elucidated. Zinc seems to exert insulin-like effects by supporting the signal transduction of insulin and by reducing the production of cytokines, which lead to beta-cell death during the inflammatory process in the pancreas in the course of the disease
  •  
    Zn show to help in glycemic control in both type I and II diabetics.  It appears to do this through inflammation reduction and thus improved insulin/Receptor signal transduction.   Also of note, antibodies against Zn transporter have been found in type I DM.

Zinc May Regulate Serum Leptin Concentrations in Humans - 0 views

  •  
    Zinc found to be associated with an increase in leptin.  Also, increased IL-2 and TNF-alpha found to be associated.  This has potential implications in obesity treatment: obviously not in those individuals that are leptin resistant.
