Zink und Immunfunktionen

Zusammenfassung

Zinkmangel ist v. a. in den Entwicklungsländern verbreitet, aber auch in den Industrieländern präsent. Er ist schwierig zu diagnostizieren und Supplemente zur Aufhebung des Mangels weisen eine sehr unterschiedliche Bioverfügbarkeit auf. Besonders das Immunsystem ist empfindlich gegenüber einem Zinkmangel sowie einem Zinküberschuss. Die Zellen des Immunsystems benötigen Zink für viele ihrer Funktionen, z. B. zur Teilung, Reifung und Produktion von Botenstoffen. Sowohl ein Mangel als auch ein Überschuss gehen mit einer erhöhten Infektanfälligkeit einher.
