The aim of this study was to compare zinc (Zn) metabolism parameters in groups of premenopausal and postmenopausal women with
moderate and severe primary arterial hypertension. The study included 38 women, of which 15 were premenopausal and 23 were
postmenopausal. Postmenopausal women had a positive correlation between total (ERCt-Zn) and oubain-dependent (ERCos-Zn) rate
constants of Zn efflux from lymphocyte (k = 0.52). In premenopausal women’s ERCos-Zn was negatively but weakly correlated with serum Zn (Zn-s) (k = 0.35). The Zn ERCt-Zn and ERCos-Zn did not show any correlation with age, as did Zn-s. Lymphocyte Zn correlated negatively
with age only in premenopausal women (k = -0.62).
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system correlated with Zn metabolism parameters. In premenopausal women, plasma renin activity
and serum aldosterone showed positive correlations with lymphocyte Zn (Zn-l) (k = 0.63 andk = 0.41, respectively), and in postmenopausal women, it correlated negatively with Zn-s (k = -0.38) and whole aldosterone correlated negatively with ERCos-Zn (k = -0.41).
Positive correlations between Zn metabolism parameters and arterial blood pressure in premenopausal women were as follows:
ERCt-Zn with diastolic blood pressure (dRR) (k = 0.40) and ERCos-Zn with dRR (k = 0.47). In postmenopausal women, the correlations between ERC-t-Zn and dRR and systolic blood pressure (sRR) were negative
(k = -0.53 andk = -0.63, respectively). A similar situation was observed between dRR and sRR and Zn-s (k = -0.40 andk = -0.38, respectively). The body mass index (BMI) was positively correlated with ERCt-Zn in premenopausal women (k = 0.36), whereas in postmenopausal, it was negatively correlated with ERCos-Zn (k = -0.42). For the whole group, negative correlations were seen between ZnS and dRR and sRR (k = -0.36 andk = -0.39, respectively) and between ERCos-Zn and BMI (k = -0.39). The results presented show differences in Zn metabolism in arterial hypertension between premenopausal and post-menopausal
women. The role of estrogens in these differences is disscused. 相似文献

The total and ouabain-dependent rate constants of efflux of zinc (Zn) ions from lymphocytes isolated from healthy subjects
were measured in vitro in an environment containing calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) ions. Both the total (ERCt-Zn) and ouabain-dependent
(ERCos-Zn) rate constants were higher in the presence of Mg2+, with the the oubain-dependent efflux significantly different 0.29±0.07 vs 0.13±0.02 with and without Mg2+, respectively (p<0.001). After the addition of verapamil, an increase of ERCE-Zn was observed in both ionic environments
and was higher and statistically significant in the presence of Mg2+: 1.94±0.64 vs 2.97±1.16 (p<0.025). These results suggest that verapamil has an enhancing effect on Zn efflux from isolated
lymphocytes, suggesting that calcium channel blockers might result in better Zn homeostatic regulation in diseases of the
cardiovascular system. 相似文献

The basal systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, left ventricular mass, serum and lymphocyte zinc levels,
serum aldosterone, plasma rennin and angiotensin-converting enzyme activities, sodium and potassium levels, and the total
and ouabain-dependent rate constants of zinc efflux from lymphocytes were measured in a group of 41 individuals of both sexes
(overall age 46.3 ± 11.4 years), of which 18 were women (48.5 ± 7.1 years old) and 23 were men (44.7 ± 13.8 years old). There
were no significant differences between these parameters while dividing the subjects into groups according to sex, despite
differences in weight, left ventricle mass, plasma rennin activity, and serum aldosterone content. Only the total and ouabain-dependent
rate constants of zinc efflux from lymphocytes slightly negatively correlated to left ventricular mass, r = −0.30 to r = −0.36. This may constitute indirect evidence of zinc deficiency in cardiomyocytes of some hypertensive individuals with
left ventricular hypertrophy. 相似文献

It has been postulated that increased blood pressure is related to hypersensitivity of arterial chemoreceptors and increased
tissue oxygen supply. Arterial blood pressure has been found to be negatively correlated to serum zinc and positively correlated
to age, body mass index, and hemoglobin concentrations. The aim of the present investigation was to further explore the relationship
between blood pressure and zinc concentrations in serum and blood morphology parameters, iron concentrations, and venous blood
gasometry parameters. The study was carried out in two groups. Group Aconsisted of 23 subjects of both sexes suffering from
moderate to severe arterial blood pressure. Their mean age was 53.13±10.45 yr (range: 23–74 yr). Group B included 48 subjects
of mean age 36.7±10.0 yr (range: 26–60 yr). This group included 5 patients with arterial hypotension, 37 with hypertension,
and the remaining 6 with normal blood pressure.
Significant positive correlations between serum zinc and red blood cell count (r = 0.51) and negative with age (r = −0.52) were found. By multiple regression, negative correlations were also found between serum zinc and the diastolic blood
pressure and with hemoglobin (r = −0.5). Age was positively correlated to systolic (r = 0.49) and diastolic (r = 0.45) blood pressure parameters and to hemoglobin concentrations (r = 0.33 and r = 0.38, respectively). Buffered and excess bases in blood were negatively correlated to zinc (r = −0.29 in both cases) and to systolic and diastolic blood pressure (r = −0.31 and r = −0.40, respectively). In turn, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure also correlated negatively to the partial pressure
of carbon dioxide and positively to venous blood oxygen saturation and to the partial pressure of oxygen. The role of zinc
and acid-balance realtionships in blood pressure regulation and in arterial hypertension ethiopatogenesis is disscused. 相似文献

In order to evaluate serum copper and zinc status in children with iron deficiency anemia (IDA), 60 children with IDA aged
1–14 yr and 64 healthy children as controls aged 1–14 yr were included the study. Serum copper levels were higher in children
with IDA (189 ± 49 (Μg/dL) than those of controls (163 ± 37 Μg/dL) (p = 0.001). Serum zinc levels were lower in the patient group (109 ± 59 Μg/dL) than those of control subjects (135 ± 56 Μg/dL)
(p = 0.017). In addition, there were statistically significant negative correlations between hematological parameters and serum
copper levels in the patient group, but not in controls. No correlation between hematological parameters and serum zinc levels
were found in both patient and control groups, except positive correlation between mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and serum
zinc level in patients.
It was concluded that at the time of managing children with IDA, zinc deficiency must be borne in mind and if necessary treatment
should be initiated with zinc. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether the postprandial decline in plasma zinc concentration is altered by aging.
Eleven women, between the ages of 65 and 82 yr, participated in two separate experimental protocols: a high carbohydrate breakfast
trial and a fasting trial. Plasma zinc concentrations were measured from blood samples obtained at 8∶00am (baseline fasting) and at 30-min intervals until 1∶00pm during each trial. Following the breakfast meal, plasma zinc concentrations declined 14% from 75±1 to 65±2 μg/dL (p<0.05), reaching a nadir 2.7±0.2 h after the meal. This decline was significantly (p<0.0001) greater than the 3.6% fall observed during the fasting trial. Postprandial changes in the plasma zinc concentrations
were correlated with postprandial changes in serum glucose (r=−0.43,p<0.001), serum insulin (r=−0.17,p<0.01), and serum phosphorus(r=0.32,p<0.005). These data show that plasma zinc concentrations decline following food intake in elderly women in the same manner
as previously described for younger adult women. 相似文献

Alterations in antioxidant defense in obese people with metabolic syndrome can contribute to oxidative stress. This study
assessed the relationship between the parameters of metabolic syndrome and the zincemia, activity of superoxide dismutase,
and glutathione peroxidase enzymes in obese women. Seventy-three premenopausal women, aged between 20 and 50 years, were divided
into two groups: case group, composed of obese (n = 37), and control group, composed of no obese (n = 36). Analyses of zinc intake, parameters of metabolic syndrome, plasma, and erythrocyte zinc, and activities of superoxide
dismutase and glutathione peroxidase were carried out. The mean values of body mass index of obese women and control group
were 34.5 ± 3.4 and 21.7 ± 1.9 kg/m2, respectively (p < 0.05). In the study, body mass index, waist circumference, and zinc intake were higher in obese women than control group
(p < 0.05). The plasma zinc and activity of superoxide dismutase did not show significant differences between obese and controls
(p > 0.05). The values of erythrocyte zinc was 36.4 ± 15.0 μg/gHb and 45.4 ± 14.3 μg/gHb and of glutathione peroxidase was 46.4 ± 19.4 U/gHb
and 36.7 ± 13.6 U/gHb in obese women and controls, respectively (p < 0.05). The study shows that there are alterations in biochemical parameters of zinc in obese women, with low zinc concentrations
in erythrocytes. Regression analysis demonstrates that the erythrocyte zinc and activity of superoxide dismutase enzyme is
influenced by components of the metabolic syndrome, and the plasmatic glucose, body mass index, and waist circumference have
a negative correlation with this enzyme. 相似文献

Zinc absorption from the alimentary tract, as revealed by serum zinc concentration, was studied in a group of 10 patients
(age 37.7±5.1 yr) with moderate and severe untreated primary arterial hypertension before and after a 30-d treatment with
perindopril 4 mg/d. Blood pressure was 177.33±16.24/111.33±15.26 mm Hg before and 143.41±17.34/91.29±12.54 mm Hg after treatment
(p<0.05/p<0.05). Nine persons (age 37±6.2 yr) with normal blood pressure (121.33±9.9/78±5.23 mm Hg) were the control group. Blood samples
were taken from the ulnar vein at 8.00 am (0 h), before taking zinc orally (one tablet of Zincas (zinc aspartate), containing 5 mg Zn2+) and at 1, 3, and 6 h after the dose. Serum zinc concentration in control and hypertensive group (before treatment) were
initially 15.47±6.26 versus 15.99±5.65 (NS), 19.37±6.40 versus 20.83±4.48 (NS) after 1 h, 17.91±4.76 versus 31.32±10.49 (p<0.003) after 3 h, and 15.32±5.47 versus 17.87±6.56 (NS) after 6 h. Maximal increase of Zn was 4.77±2.10 versus 17.53±4.13,
respectively (p<0.001). In the hypertensive group, serum Zn before and after perindopril treatment was initially 15.98±5.65 versus 14.81±3.11
(NS), 20.83±4.48 versus 18.17±2.50 (NS) after 1 h, 31.32±10.49 versus 22.94±5.80 (NS) after 3 h, 17.53±4.13 (p<0.001) after 6 h. Maximal increase of Zn before treatment was 17.53±4.13 versus 9.17±4.67 (p<0.017) after treatment. The following conclusions were reached: (1) In patients with primary arterial hypertension, an increased
zinc absorption from alimentary tract was found; (2) A 30-d perindopril treatment 4 mg/d orally decreased zinc absorption
in these patients. 相似文献

Leptin, the obesity gene protein product, is a hormone with multiple physiological functions in the human. However, there
are few reports in the literature on its role in trace element metabolism in the normal population. Therefore, we investigated
the association among serum leptin, zinc, copper, and zinc/copper ratio in 570 healthy men and women aged 15 yr and older.
Serum leptin assay was done with a commercial enzymelinked immunosorbent assay kit; serum zinc and copper levels were measured
by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Serum leptin was found to be positively associated with age (r=0.254, p<0.001), sex (r=0.406, p<0.001), body mass index (BMI) (r=0.553, p<0.001), and serum copper (r=0.419, p<0.001), but negatively associated with the zinc/copper ratio (r=−0.423, p<0.001). There was no significant association between serum leptin and zinc (r=−0.131, p>0.05). When the confounding effects of age, sex, and BMI were removed, serum leptin was still positively associated with
serum copper (r=0.197, p=0.02) and the serum zinc/copper ratio (r=−0.182, p=0.03). These results suggest that copper and not zinc has an effect on serum leptin levels. 相似文献

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) causes significant weight loss in morbidly obese adults. However, its consequences
on nutritional status still remain unclear. There are a few studies determining the nutritional status after LAGB and none
have focused on the serum levels of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and ceruloplasmin (CP). We aimed to investigate the effects of
LAGB surgery on plasma Zn, Cu, and CP levels. Thirty patients with LAGB with morbid obesity were included. Blood samples were
collected preooperatively and in the postoperative third month to determine plasma Zn, Cu, and CP levels. The mean preoperative
and postoperative body mass indexes (BMI) were 44.9 ± 7.4 kg/m2 and 44.1 ± 6.5 kg/m2, respectively. The mean weight loss was 12.9 ± 3.3 kg at the postoperative third month. The postoperative Zn (500 ± 130 ng/ml),
Cu (280 ± 80 ng/ml), and CP (23.9 ± 8.8 mg/dl) values were statistically significantly lower than the preooperative Zn (740 ± 230 ng/ml),
Cu (370 ± 80 ng/ml) and CP (33.3 ± 15.7 mg/dl) levels (p < 0.05). Decreases in the plasma levels of Zn, Cu, and CP were seen postoperatively following LAGB surgery. The nutritional
status of LAGB-applied patients should be monitored and mineral supplementation may be considered. 相似文献

The levels of intake and food sources of zinc and copper in 231 20–80 yr old healthy adults living in Bangkok and surrounding
districts were determined. Dietary data from 3-d food records collected and validated at Research Center, Ramathibodi Hospital
were analyzed. Levels of zinc and copper intake were compared between sexes and age groups (20–39, 40–59, and 60–80 yr). Mean
daily zinc and copper intakes (±SEM) in men were 6.3 ±0.2 and 1.9 ±0.1 mg, respectively. Mean daily zinc and copper intakes
(±SEM) estimated in women (5.5 ±0.2 and 1.6 +-0.1 mg) were significantly lower. Higher zinc and copper intakes were found
in the younger (20-39 yr) age group of both sexes. This could be explained by higher density and percentage from animal source
of both nutrients. Consumption of various types of meat, fish, egg, and milk accounted for 42 and 22%, and rice, the staple
food of Thai people for 9 and 23% of total dietary zinc and copper, respectively. 相似文献

The quality of the diet of obese children is poor. Eating habits may alter micronutrient status in obese patients. In this
study, we determined the serum levels of selenium, zinc, vanadium, molybdenum, iron, copper, beryllium, boron, chromium, manganese,
cobalt, silver, barium, aluminum, nickel, cadmium, mercury, and lead in obese Turkish children. Thirty-four obese and 33 healthy
control subjects were enrolled in the study. Serum vanadium and cobalt levels of obese children were significantly lower than
those of the control group (0.244 ± 0.0179 vs. 0.261 ± 0.012 μg/l, p < 0.001, and 0.14 ± 0.13 vs. 0.24 ± 0.15 μg/l, p = 0.011, respectively). There was no significant difference between groups regarding the other serum trace element levels.
In conclusion, there may be alterations in the serum levels of trace elements in obese children and these alterations may
have a role in the pathogenesis of obesity. 相似文献

The relationship between selected zinc (Zn) metabolism parameters, arterial blood pressure, age, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
system in subjects of both sexes with mild primary arterial hypertension is presented in this study. The following parameters
were measured: systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure, total and ouabain-dependent efflux rate constants of Zn from
lymphocytes, serum and lymphocyte Zn concentrations, serum aldosterone, angiotensin-converting enzyme, sodium and potassium
concentrations, body mass index, and plasma rennin activity. When all subjects are taken into account, no significant age-related
differences were found for serum Zn. If divided into men and women, negative (r=−0.39) and positive (r=0.34) correlations are observed, respectively. Lymphocyte Zn correlated negatively with age in the entire group (r=−0.55) and also for men (r=−0.54) and women (r=−0.57).
The renin-agiotensin-aldosterone system parameters correlated with those of Zn metabolism only for women: plasma rennin activity
with total Zn efflux from lymphocytes (r=−0.33) and with lymphocyte Zn (r=0.71); the angiotensin-converting enzyme with total Zn efflux from lymphocytes (r=−0.35), with the oubain-dependent Zn efflux from lymphocytes (r=−0.33) and with lymphocyte Zn (r=0.57); serum aldosterone with oubain-dependent Zn efflux from lymphocytes (r=−0.44) and with lymphocyte Zn (r=0.59). For the men, the only positive correlation was that of serum Zn and aldosterone (r=0.45). In all cases (men and women), there was no negative correlation between serum Zn and angiotensin-converting enzyme.
In women, the diastolic blood pressure correlated negatively with total Zn efflux from lymphocytes (r=−0.39), oubain-dependent Zn efflux from lymphocytes (r=−0.49), and serum Zn (r=−0.46); systolic blood pressure correlated negatively with lymphocyte zinc (r=−0.38). In men, the systolic blood pressure had a negative correlation with lymphocyte zinc (r=−0.32), which was also true for the entire group (r=−0.34). These results clearly show gender-related differences in Zn metabolism and indicate the need for further research
to elucidate the possible causes of this phenomenon not only for Zn but for other elements as well. 相似文献

Antarctic fish, such as the Trematomus bernacchii, living at −1.9°C maintain a serum osmolality of around 600 mOsm kg−1, nearly twice that of temperate fish. Upon warm acclimation, Antarctic fish significantly lower their serum osmolality. It
has been suggested that this response to warm acclimation is due to stress. The purpose of this study was to determine, whether
upon warm acclimation there was a change in the levels of the stress hormone cortisol and hematocrit associated with the decrease
in serum osmolality. T. bernacchii were warm acclimated up to 4 weeks and serum osmolality, cortisol and hematocrit were measured. Upon warm acclimation to
+1.6 and +3.8°C over the course of 4 weeks, T. bernacchii significantly lowered their serum osmolality (from 547 ± 4 mOsm kg−1 to 494 ± 6 and 489 ± 4 mOsm kg−1, respectively), yet did not alter their serum cortisol (29 ± 6 nl ml−1) or hematocrit (22 ± 1%) levels. These results suggest that warm acclimation does not induce a stress response in T. bernacchii. 相似文献

The present study focused on whether serum extracellular superoxide dimutase (EC-SOD) activity can be used as a functional
indicator of marginal zinc deficiency in humans. Subjects in this study were 444 healthy adults over 30 yr of age living a
normal rural life in Kyunggi province, Korea. The mean dietary zinc intake of subjects obtained from one 24-h recall was 6.41
± 4.35 mg and the average serum zinc concentration of the subjects was 11.06 ± 2.44 (μmol/L. Subjects were divided into three
groups by serum zinc concentrations: adequate (serum zinc >10.7 (μmol/L), low (serum zinc 9.0–10.7 μmol/L), and very low (serum
zinc <9.0 μmol/L) groups. A total of 50 subjects were selected from the three groups for analysis of EC-SOD activities. The
EC-SOD activity of subjects increased with increasing serum zinc concentrations, and the activities of the three groups were
significantly different as indicated by the Kruskal-Wallis test (p = 0.0239). Also, serum EC-SOD activities were significantly
correlated with serum zinc concentrations (r = 0.289,p = 0.04). Serum EC-SOD activities, however, were not significantly correlated to the dietary zinc intakes. In conclusion,
these results show that EC-SOD activities are decreased in subjects with low serum zinc concentrations and suggest that EC-SOD
activity may be a functional indicator of zinc nutritional status in humans. 相似文献

Summary These authors attempted to test the effect of anticoagulants on lymphocytes viability by reproducing the procedure used for
lymphocyte isolation for various immunologic tests in which blood specimens are allowed to stay at room temperature for 2
h before lymphocytes are isolated. Blood was obtained with three different anticoagulants i.e. heparin, citrate, and CPDA
(citrate, phosphate, dextrose, and adenine). Plasma was lyophilized and extracted with ethanol. Dried ethanol extracts were
suspended in medium (RPMI 1640+10% fetal bovine serum) and incubated with a lymphocyte cell line (MOLT-4). After 24 h of incubation
the viability of cells was examined. The following death rates of the cells were observed: heparin −63±4.6% (mean±SEM), citrate
−27±6.7%, and CPDA 6.2±0.6% (P<0.0005). A significant correlation was found between these results and changes in the concentrations of free fatty acids
in the extracts. These results emphasize the importance of choosing the right anticoagulant when the viability of lymphocytes
is obligatory. 相似文献

Obesity, characterized by hyperleptinemia and hypoghrelinemia, has become a major health problem all over the world and is
associated with an increased risk of complications including insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus
and atherosclerosis. The use of the pancreatic lipase inhibitor Orlistat can help seriously overweight people to achieve and
maintain weight loss. The aim of our study was to compare the serum leptin and ghrelin levels in obese subjects who take orlistat
with those receiving only dietary treatment. Twenty-one obese patients and 10 control subjects participated. The obese patients
were divided into two groups; one group (n=11) took orlistat (120 mg, 3 times daily) and received dietary treatment and the
other (n=10) only received the dietary treatment. The study lasted twelve weeks. The concentrations of serum ghrelin, leptin,
insulin and C-peptide, and routine biochemical parameters, were measured in both groups. The serum ghrelin level was higher
in control (183±62 fmol/ml) than obese (59±30 fmol/ml) subjects while the plasma leptin level was lower in control (8.7±12
μg/L) than obese (36.7±19 μg/L) subjects (all p<0.001). BMI and the total blood cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride levels fell
significantly after both orlistat and dietary treatment in the obese subjects (all p<0.01), and the plasma ghrelin level rose
(p<0.01). The leptin level demonstrated the opposite trend in both groups but only the patients taking orlistat showed a significant
change (p<0.05).Taken together, these results show that orlistat has no effect on body weight in obese subjects additional
to that conferred by a non-pharmacological life-style intervention. We therefore conclude that weight lost rather than type
of treatment might be more valuable in obesity. 相似文献

Obesity is characterized by chronic, low-grade, systemic inflammation, which, in turn, has been associated with anemia of chronic disease. We hypothesized that obesity may be associated with the features of anemia of chronic disease, including low hemoglobin concentration, low serum iron and transferrin saturation (TS), and elevated serum ferritin. We compared normal-weight to overweight and obese adult participants of the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey with respect to hemoglobin concentration and levels of serum iron, TS, and ferritin. Measured BMI was used to categorize participants into normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m(2), n = 6,059), overweight (BMI 25 to <30 kg/m(2), n = 5,108), mildly obese (BMI 30 to <35 kg/m(2), n = 2,366), moderately obese (BMI 35 to <40 kg/m(2), n = 850), and severely obese (BMI > or = 40 kg/m(2), n = 465). After adjustment for age, gender, menstruation, race/ethnicity, education, alcohol consumption, smoking, blood donation, and dietary iron intake, serum ferritin was progressively higher with increasing BMI category, whereas serum iron and TS were progressively lower. However, compared to normal-weight persons, those in all other higher BMI categories did not have a significant change in hemoglobin concentration after adjustment for the above-mentioned confounders. Overweight and obesity were associated with changes in serum iron, TS, and ferritin that would be expected to occur in the setting of chronic, systemic inflammation. However, overweight and obese persons were not more likely to be anemic compared with normal-weight persons. 相似文献

Zinc nutritional status and its relationships with hyperinsulinemia in obese children and adolescents 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A perturbation of zinc metabolism has been noted in subjects with obesity. The present work intends to investigate whether
the zinc nutritional status is associated with hyperinsulinemia in obesity. A study was carried out in a group of obese children
and adolescents (n=23) and compared to a control group (n=21), both between 7 and 14 yr of age. Software analyzed diet information from 3-d food records. Body composition was evaluated
by body mass index (BMI), bioelectrical impedance, and skinfold measurements. Zinc nutritional status was evaluated by Zn
determination in plasma, erythrocyte, and 24-h urine, by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (λ=213.9 nm). Insulin was measured
by radioimmunoassay (Linco Res). Diets consumed by both groups had marginal concentrations of zinc. Zinc concentrations in
plasma and erythrocytes were significantly lower in the obese group. Urinary zinc excretion and serum insulin were significantly
higher in the same group, although the insulinemia and the parameters of zinc nutritional status were not significantly correlated.
As a result, considering that zinc is part of the synthesis and secretion of this hormone, an assessment is necessary of the
possible participation of the oligoelement in the mechanisms of insulin resistance, commonly present in obese patients. 相似文献

Research has investigated the participation of zinc transport proteins and metallothionein in the metabolism of this mineral.
However, studies about the genetic expression of these proteins in obese patients are scarce. The study determined the expression
of zinc transporter protein codifying genes (ZnT-1, Zip-1 and Zip-3) and of metallothionein in 55 obese women, aged between
20 and 56 years. The assessment of body composition was carried out using anthropometric measurements and bioelectrical impedance.
Zinc intake was obtained by recording diet over a 3-day period, and the nutritional analysis was carried out using NutWin
software version 1.5. The plasmatic and erythrocytary zinc were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (λ = 213. 9 nm). The determination of mRNA expression of the zinc transporter proteins and metallothionein was carried out using
blood, using the RT-PCR method. The mean values of body mass index were 37.9 ± 5.5 kg/m2. The average intake of zinc was 9.4 ± 2.3 mg/day. The analysis of the zinc plasma concentrations showed values of 58.4 ± 10.9 μg/dL.
The mean values of zinc in the erythroytes were 38.7 ± 9.1 μg/g Hb. The metallothionein gene had a higher expression in the
blood, when compared to zinc transporters ZnT-1, Zip-1, and Zip-3 (p = 0.01). The study shows that there are alterations in the biochemical parameters of zinc in obese patients assessed, as
well as higher expression of the codifying gene metallothionein, when compared to the investigated zinc transporters. 相似文献
