Zinc is involved in a variety of biological processes, as a structural, catalytic, and intracellular
and intercellular signaling component. Thus zinc homeostasis is tightly controlled at the …

Zinc metabolism at the cellular level is critical for many biological processes in the body. A
key observation is the disruption of cellular homeostasis, often coinciding with disease …

Zinc deficiency is a risk factor for obesity and diabetes. However, until recently, the
underlying molecular mechanisms remained unclear. The breakthrough discovery that the …

Two families of zinc (Zn2+) transporters are involved in zinc homeostasis in the body, SLC30
(ZnT, zinc transporter) and SLC39 (ZIP, Zinc (Zn2+)–Iron (Fe2+) Permease). The two zinc …

The use of nanoparticles in medicine is an attractive proposition. In the present study, zinc
oxide and silver nanoparticles were evaluated for their antidiabetic activity. Fifty male albino …

Background & Aims Excess and unresolved endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in intestinal
epithelial cells (IECs) promotes intestinal inflammation. Activating transcription factor 6 …

Abstract Zinc (Zn 2+) is an essential element crucial for growth and development, and also
plays a role in cell signaling for cellular processes like cell division and apoptosis. In the …

The solute carrier (SLC) superfamily comprises more than 400 transport proteins mediating
the influx and efflux of substances such as ions, nucleotides, and sugars across biological …

Aim: The correlation of diabetes and an imbalance in zinc homeostasis makes zinc-based
therapy an attractive proposition. In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles were evaluated for …

A functional immune system is essential for healthy life. This is achieved by the coordinate
activation and interaction of different immune cells. One should be aware that activation of …
