Systemic Transport of Zinc

  • Chapter
Zinc in Human Biology

Part of the book series: ILSI Human Nutrition Reviews ((ILSI HUMAN))

Abstract

Zinc transport through the systemic circulation can be viewed from many different perspectives. In the past, attention has been paid to the zinc concentration and zinc-binding proteins. More recently, the dynamic nature of zinc-binding constituents of the plasma as a metabolic compartment has been defined. Indeed, evidence suggests that hormonal regulation of cellular processes dramatically influences zinc in the systemic circulation.
