Overview

Review discusses the role of zinc in insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, suggesting its potential in treatment.

Key Points

  • Zinc modulation may prevent and treat metabolic syndrome by improving insulin resistance.
  • Patients with metabolic syndrome are five times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
  • Zinc is critical for various biological processes, including lipid and glucose metabolism.
  • Disruption of zinc homeostasis contributes to the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome.
