Zinc is crucial for maintaining the overall well-being of the human body due to its various functions. Disturbances in zinc homeostasis are associated with several diseases and disorders. This review provides an overview of zinc absorption and homeostasis, including the factors affecting absorption and the body's mechanisms to maintain zinc homeostasis.
Zinc is essential for the overall well-being of the human body due to its numerous structural, catalytic, and signalling functions. Therefore, maintaining a constant state of zinc homeostasis is crucial. The disturbances in zinc homeostasis are linked to numerous diseases and disorders, including metabolic syndrome and neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we have discussed a general overview of zinc absorption and homeostasis, particularly the factors affecting zinc absorption and the body's mechanisms to maintain zinc homeostasis at both the systemic and cellular levels.
