CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Zinc is an essential nutritional
element that is important in many enzyme systems either as a
metalloenzyme or as an enzyme activator. More than 70 different zinc
metalloenzymes have
been characterized including
carbonic anhydrase, alkaline phosphatase, alcohol dehydrogenase,
procarboxypeptidase, superoxide dismutase, glyceraldehydes-3-P
dehydrogenase and retinene
reductase.
A zinc metalloenzyme
is also involved
in the synthesis of RNA and DNA, making it important in
the normal growth and development process. Zinc facilitates wound
healing and helps maintain
the senses of taste and smell and normal skin hydration.
The distribution
of zinc is wide and nonuniform
with the highest concentrations found in the eye,
prostate, kidney, liver, muscle, bones, teeth (dental enamel), hair,
nails and skin. Zinc is also
present in the blood with 75-88% of the total zinc of normal human
blood in the red cells,
12-22% in the plasma and 3% in the leukocytes. Normal zinc levels are
8.8 mcg/mL in whole
blood, 1.21 mcg/mL in plasma, 14.4 mcg/mL in erythrocytes and 1.0
mcg/mL in serum.
In a study with 99 healthy young men, a mean serum zinc concentration
of 102 mcg/100 mL
(range 68-136) was reported. Thirty to forty percent of plasma zinc is
bound to alpha
2 macroglobulin and sixty to seventy percent is loosely bound to
albumin.
Profound changes in zinc blood levels are seen in various disease
states and under stress
conditions. Subnormal plasma zinc levels have been reported in
patients with malignant tumours,
atherosclerosis, postalcoholic cirrhosis of the liver
