TL;DR: The findings show the most important independent determinants of plasma Zn concentration and Cu/Zn ratio variability in elderly population and suggest that the decline with age of Zn circulating levels is more dependent on physiopathological changes occurring with aging than to its nutritional intake.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the effect of anpassungsphasen on the performance of immunology in the early stages of the human life, i.e., in den ersten Lebensjahren reagiert das immunsystem aufgrund seiner Unreife nur suboptimal, was jedoch fur den Gesamtorganismus in vielen Fallen (insbesondere bei den Kinderkrankheiten) von Vorteil ist.

TL;DR: In den vorherigen Kapiteln haben wir erfahren, wie das Immunsystem uns gesund halt, aber also wie es uns krank machen kann.
Functional Significance of Zinc-Related Signaling Pathways in Immune Cells
Hajo Haase,Lothar Rink +1 more
TL;DR: The interactions of zinc with major signaling pathways that regulate immune cell activity, and the implications of zinc deficiency or supplementation on zinc signaling as the molecular basis for an effect of zinc on immune cell function are discussed.
Flow cytometric measurement of labile zinc in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
TL;DR: The zinc-sensitive fluorescent probe FluoZin-3 was used to quantify the amount of labile zinc in peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from human blood and was successfully employed to monitor phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced zinc release, and the displacement of protein-bound zinc by the mercury-containing compounds HgCl(2) and thimerosal.
