In this study, Libyan patients with diffuse hair loss were found to have significantly lower levels of zinc, ferritin, and vitamin D compared to those without hair loss, suggesting a possible link between these micronutrient deficiencies and hair loss.

This case report of a 16-month-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica, who showed atypical symptoms and normal zinc serum levels, highlights how genetic testing and zinc supplementation led to marked improvement in her condition, underscoring the importance of accurate diagnosis in metabolic disorders.

This study found that newborns with neural tube defects and their mothers had significantly lower hair zinc levels compared to controls.

This study involving male patients with androgenic alopecia found that a higher baseline zinc plasma level, specifically above 10 µmol/L, may predict the success of treatment with 5% topical minoxidil, correlating with increased hair density and diameter in the parietal area.

This study found that zinc levels were significantly decreased in both alopecia areata and vitiligo patients compared to controls, suggesting zinc may play an important role in the etiopathogenesis of these conditions.

This study found a significant decline in serum zinc levels among women of African descent using hair relaxers and experiencing alopecia, with age at first exposure potentially influencing alopecia development.

This study found that patients with severe alopecia areata had significantly lower serum zinc levels compared to healthy controls, and a negative correlation between zinc levels and disease severity was observed, suggesting that zinc assessment and supplementation trials may be warranted in this population.

This study found a correlation between zinc levels in hair and serum, and alkaline phosphatase activity in acne phlegmonosa and alopecia areata patients.

This study compared serum zinc, vitamin B12, folic acid levels, iron metabolism, and thyroid function between chronic telogen effluvium patients and healthy controls, but it reports no specific clinical results.

In this study, researchers observed that lower serum zinc concentrations were associated with decreased serum testosterone levels, but no link was found with sexual function questionnaire scores.

This study found that individuals with premature graying of hair had significantly lower serum levels of vitamin B12, ferritin, and calcium compared to those without premature graying.

This study found a significant association between lower serum ferritin levels and chronic diffuse hair loss in women of reproductive age, particularly in cases of alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia.

Vitamin D and zinc may help treat alopecia areata.

This meta-analysis suggests that patients with alopecia areata have lower serum levels of zinc and selenium compared to healthy controls, which may be important risk factors for the condition.

In this study, isotretinoin treatment for acne vulgaris was associated with changes in plasma phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and zinc levels, potentially affecting kidney function and contributing to side effects like fatigue and dry skin.

This case report describes a 5-year-old boy with acquired acrodermatitis enteropathica and normal serum zinc levels, improving clinically after zinc supplementation.

This case report associates severe zinc deficiency with long-term total parenteral nutrition, suggesting the need for trace element supplementation in such nutritional management.

In this case study, a 4-year-old girl's hair loss stopped after six months of zinc supplementation and dietary changes, suggesting a possible link to low zinc levels.

This article reviews the clinical manifestations and contributing factors of acute zinc depletion syndrome, reporting no new results but discussing prevention and treatment strategies.

This study found that iron deficiency anemia is a key factor in the development of telogen effluvium, and higher 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels in TE patients may be linked to increased UV exposure.

This study found that while serum zinc concentrations were not associated with developing gynecologic cancers, zinc deficiency was linked to a higher recurrence rate.
