Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of zinc. Zinc-dependent NF-κB signaling (2017, background): “The element plays, therefore, a preventive role against free radical formation and protects biological structures from injury during inflammatory processes (Powell 2000; Tapiero and Tew 2003; Stefanidou et al. 2006; Chasapis et al. 2012).”
Zinc as a Gatekeeper of Immune Function (2017, background): “Both zinc deficiency as well as excess have been shown to inhibit superoxide anion production [174] and thereby the formation of NETs.”
The Role of Metallothionein in Oxidative Stress (2013, background): “Originally, the mere perception of zinc(II) as a structural component and an integral component of cytoskeletal structures significantly expanded, and these ions are considered as an important signaling component necessary for the physiological function of all cells [37–40].”
Zinc and Oxidative Stress: Current Mechanisms (2017, background): “Metallothionein is involved in the reduction of hydroxyl radicals (OH) and in the sequestration of the reactive oxygen species produced under stress conditions [9,10].”
Nutrient Benefits of Quail (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica) Eggs (2012, background): “The previous study presented its biological role in homeostasis, proliferation and apoptosis and its role in immunity and in chronic diseases (Chasapis et al., 2012).”
