Abstract

Status cinka u populaciji odraslih u severnoj Srbiji

Highlights

Zinc (Zn) in one of the most abundant chemical elements in the Earth’s crust and after iron, it is the second most occurred essential microelement in an organism (Lander et al 2001; Hambridge and Krebs, 2007). It is indispensable in the activities of more than 200 various enzymes and this microelement plays a significant role in cell division processes, DNK and protein synthesis, and in an immune system functioning (Food and Nutrition Board, 2001)
As an enzyme catalyzer, affects carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism regulation. This microelement takes part in processes of synthesis, storage and insulin releasing from β cells of pancreas so it plays an important role in pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (Ahn et al, 2014; Otto et al, 2011)
The results of our study indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in zinc values with the males suffering from diabetes compared to healthy male examinees (17.88 vs 17.72 μmol/L, p>0.05), while low serum zinc concentrations were detected in healthy population of female examinees compared to those suffering from DM (16.41 μmol/L vs 17.87 μmol/L, p
