Study Notes
Essential Trace Minerals and Their Disorders
- Severe zinc deficiency is caused by mutation of the ZIP4 gene and is an autosomal recessive inborn error.
- Excessive zinc exposure can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms, heme synthesis decrease, and hyperglycemia.
- Excessive zinc exposure can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and altered immune function.
- Excessive zinc exposure can lead to copper deficiency, anemia, neutropenia, and hyperglycemia in chronic conditions.
- Increased intracellular zinc levels may result in cellular toxicity, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and Alzheimer’s disease.
- Copper is essential for various biological functions and is mainly absorbed in the small intestine.
- Ceruloplasmin, an acute phase reactant, plays a crucial role in iron oxidation and has antioxidant properties.
- Disorders of copper metabolism include Menkes’ disease and Wilson’s disease, each with distinct symptoms and genetic causes.
- Wilson’s disease is characterized by copper accumulation in tissues, leading to neurological disorders and liver cirrhosis.
- Copper toxicity can result from exposure to copper pots, burn pomades, and fungicides, causing various health issues.
- Manganese is important for bone development, wound healing, and several enzymatic processes.
- Chromium exists in different valence forms and is crucial for glucose regulation, insulin effectiveness, and atherosclerosis prevention.
