- Effect of zn solubilizing bacteria on growth promotion and zn nutrition of rice (2014, background): “In human body, Zn plays an important role in maintaining the structure and function of large number of macromolecules and is also found responsible for controlling over 300 enzymatic reactions (Tapiero and Tew, 2003).”
- Research on an Mg-Zn alloy as a degradable biomaterial. (2010, background): “Besides, the released zinc could be absorbed by the surrounding tissues [16] and excreted through the gastrointestinal route and the kidney [23].”
- Zinc and human health: an update (2011, neutral): “The disregulation of apoptosis is central to pathogenic mechanisms in many diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, autoimmune diseases, and cancer (Thornberry and Lazebnik 1998; Tapiero and Tew 2003).”
- Design and characterizations of novel biodegradable ternary Zn-based alloys with IIA nutrient alloying elements Mg, Ca and Sr (2015, background): “Human zinc requirement is estimated at 15 mg/d [7].”
- Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of zinc. Zinc-dependent NF-κB signaling (2017, background): “Zinc is absorbed primarily in the duodenum, ileum, and jejunum by a carrier-mediated process or more rarely by passive diffusion (Vallee and Falchuk 1993; Sian et al. 1993; Tapiero and Tew 2003).”
- The Essential Toxin: Impact of Zinc on Human Health (2010, background): “Finally, metallothioneins (MTs) play a significant role in zinc homeostasis by complexing up to 20% of intracellular zinc (Figure 1b) [13,14].”
- Soil factors associated with zinc deficiency in crops and humans (2009, background): “In higher animals and humans it is estimated that approximately 3,000 proteins contain Zn prosthetic groups ( Tapeiro and Tew 2003 ).”
