Pathology
- excessive zinc supplementation coincident with marginal copper status may be associated with sudden cardiac death[2]
Physiology
- essential trace mineral for humans
- RDA is 15 mg/day
- > 90 zinc metalloenzymes (see zinc-containing protein)
- 50% of serum Zn+2 is bound to albumin
- there are no stores of Zn+2 in the body
Drug interactions
- digoxin interferes with Zn+2 absorption
- ethanol interferes with Zn+2 absorption
- diuretics interfere with Zn+2 absorption[3]
