Zinc can activate a variety of important antioxidant enzymes, thereby eliminating the damage of oxygen free radicals, maintaining the normal permeability of cell membranes, and protecting the normal biochemical components, metabolic structures and functions of cell membranes. Zinc not only induces T lymphocyte activation, but also activates B lymphocytes. Zinc is also involved in antibody formation and release, and stimulates immune cells to secrete various cytokines. Zinc deficiency in the elderly can cause immune dysfunction; zinc can affect the synthesis, secretion, storage, degradation and biological activity of insulin, and is a major trace element that directly affects insulin physiology.
