Type 2 diabetes mellitus and zinc dysregulation: From basic and epidemiological evidence to interventions
Background
Complex cellular and systemic changes in Zn levels have been reported through different stages of Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) onset and progression.
Methods
We summarize available evidence on Zn and T2DM, including mechanistic and epidemiological/clinical studies with a focus on Zn pathophysiology, interpretation of Zn biomarkers, and associations of Zn status and T2DM across different populations.
Results
Misdistribution of Zn in insulin-producing ß-cells are likely key contributors to ß-cell failure in T2DM, with genetic variants in ZnT8 transporters playing an important role. Epidemiological evidence has documented increased urinary Zn and decreased plasma and blood Zn in persons with established T2DM. Changes in Zn biomarkers have been prospectively associated with increased risk of T2DM in pre-diabetes and healthy adults before hyperglycemia occurs. Some studies suggest that Zn supplementation could modify glycemic endpoints in T2DM participants, but evidence is insufficient in healthy adults. Zn biomarkers, including isotopes, can provide novel approaches for T2DM risk assessment and management at different disease stages.
Conclusions
Dysregulation of Zn metabolism occurs early in T2DM development with ß-cell failure playing a central role. Additional research is needed to connect mechanistic evidence and pathophysiological changes associated with various stages of T2DM progression.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides the reader with a thorough description of theoretical and applied aspects of trace elements in medicine and biology and is devoted to the advancement of scientific knowledge about trace elements and trace element species. Trace elements play essential roles in the maintenance of physiological processes. During the last decades there has been a great deal of scientific investigation about the function and binding of trace elements. The Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology focuses on the description and dissemination of scientific results concerning the role of trace elements with respect to their mode of action in health and disease and nutritional importance. Progress in the knowledge of the biological role of trace elements depends, however, on advances in trace elements chemistry. Thus the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology will include only those papers that base their results on proven analytical methods.
Also, we only publish those articles in which the quality assurance regarding the execution of experiments and achievement of results is guaranteed.
