The Oxidative Stress of Zinc Deficiency

Eide, David J.·2011·Metallomics

Abstract

Zinc is an essential catalytic and structural cofactor for many enzymes and other proteins. While Zn2+ is not redox active under physiological conditions, it has been known for many years that zinc deficiency causes increased oxidative stress and, consequently, increased oxidative damage to DNA, proteins, and lipids. These results have indicated that zinc plays an indirect antioxidant role and that dietary inadequacy may contribute to human diseases such as cancer. Recent studies are helping to identify the primary sources of oxidative stress in low zinc. In addition, through studies of the model eukaryotic cell, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we are now beginning to understand the strategies cells use to limit this stress and reduce its damage.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In vitro, zinc deficiency is associated with increased ROS production, oxidative damage to DNA, proteins, and lipids, membrane destabilization, and dysregulation of metallothionein.

    “In vitro studies have shown that Zn deficiency is associated with an increased production of ROS, oxidative damage to DNA, proteins and lipids, destabilization of membrane structure, dysregulation of Zn-binding protein metallothionein [426,429].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
