THE BIOLOGICAL ROLE OF ZINC ON HUMAN BODY AND NECESSITY OF SUFFICIENT LEVEL OF ITS INTAKE

Abstract:
The authors of the review present data on the physiological role, metabolism and biological availability of Zinc in human body. A detailed analysis of papers concerning Zinc deficiency expansion in Ukraine and the world and main ways of its eliminating has been discussed. The specific attention is given to development of foods fortified with Zinc.
Keywords: Zinc deficiency, pubescence, metabolic disorders, antioxidant activity, food fortification.

 

Language of article: ukrainian.
