Zinc deficiency as a possible risk factor for increased susceptibility and severe progression of Corona Virus Disease 19

Inga Wessels et al.

Summary: The importance of zinc for human health is evident during zinc deficiency, which affects hematopoiesis and immune functions, leading to inflammation and disturbed redox metabolism. Zinc deficiency weakens the body's resistance to pathogens and increases the risk of an overactive immune response, potentially causing tissue damage. In the context of COVID-19, nutritional supplementation with zinc may be an effective approach to reducing the number of severe cases and deaths.

Dietary and Physiological Effects of Zinc on the Immune System

Inga Wessels et al.

Summary: There is accumulating evidence for the crucial role of zinc in immune cell function and mounting an effective immune response to various stressors. Zinc plays important roles in hematopoiesis, immune cell differentiation, activation, and function, as well as specific immune responses to pathogens. Additionally, zinc is associated with autoimmune reactions, cancers, and diseases with altered immune responses, highlighting the importance of considering zinc supplementation, especially for individuals at risk of deficiency.

Zinc deficiency leads to reduced interleukin-2 production by active gene silencing due to enhanced CREMa expression in T cells

Veronika Kloubert et al.

Summary: The study revealed that zinc deficiency leads to reduced IL-2 expression in T cells due to enhanced PP2A and HDAC1 activity, and a molecular link through the transcription factor CREMa was uncovered in connecting zinc deficiency with this decreased IL-2 production.
