This study reported that Turkish males with male pattern androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower zinc and copper levels in their hair compared to healthy controls, suggesting these imbalances may play a role in the condition's etiology.

Zinc deficiency is linked to respiratory infections in children.

This study found that young healthy women with a family history of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus exhibited higher zinc and lower copper concentrations in hair compared to those without such a family history, suggesting a possible Cu-Zn antagonism.

This review discusses zinc's role as an essential trace element in human nutrition, particularly its importance in total parenteral nutrition, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that fecal zinc concentration can serve as a biomarker for early diagnosis of zinc deficiency in lambs, complementing serum zinc evaluations.

This case study reports that an infant with maple syrup urine disease developed acrodermatitis dysmetabolica due to low isoleucine levels, and increasing the isoleucine dose improved the condition.

This study discusses zinc's vital role in skin cell growth and how its deficiency can lead to acrodermatitis enteropathica, marked by symptoms like alopecia and dermatitis. It notes that similar symptoms appear in people with certain metabolic conditions, referred to as acrodermatitis dysmetabolica.

This study found no differences in trace element concentrations between Finnish alopecia patients and the normal population, but noted significant serum copper variation among different alopecia subtypes.

This article reviews inherited mineral and trace element disturbances and reports no clinical results; it highlights conditions like hypomagnesaemia and acrodermatitis enteropathica linked to impaired nutrient absorption.

This case report describes a 5-month-old Japanese infant with biotin deficiency, where daily oral biotin supplementation led to significant improvements in skin conditions and hair growth.

This case study describes a 4-year-old girl's diagnosis of erythrokeratodermia variabilis despite various ineffective treatments, highlighting a rare skin condition with persistent symptoms.

In this study, oral zinc supplementation for twelve weeks increased serum zinc levels in alopecia areata patients with low zinc, showing positive hair regrowth in 66.7% of participants, though this was not statistically significant.

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.

In this study, patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower serum zinc levels compared to healthy controls, with an inverse relationship between zinc levels and disease severity.

This study found that Iranian patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower zinc and vitamin D levels than healthy controls, indicating these nutrients' potential role in disease management.

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 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 observed that lower serum zinc levels in patients with chronic liver disease were linked to a higher prevalence of symptoms like dermatitis, taste disorder, and alopecia, suggesting these symptoms may be associated with zinc deficiency.

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.

This study reported that women with female androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower zinc levels in both serum and hair, and lower hair iron levels, compared to healthy controls.

This study found that serum levels of zinc, copper, and selenium were significantly lower in patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, regardless of the number of hair loss patches.

This study found that men with androgenic alopecia had significantly lower hair zinc levels compared to controls, but no significant difference in blood zinc levels was observed.

This pilot study found no significant relationship between blood and hair mineral concentrations in generally healthy adults, though hair analysis may have potential for assessing long-term mineral trends.

This study found that cadmium levels were significantly higher in women with chronic telogen effluvium compared to healthy controls, suggesting cadmium toxicity might contribute to this hair shedding condition.

This study investigated the role of serum iron, ferritin, zinc, and folic acid levels in women with diffuse hair loss but reports no findings.

This study investigates differences in nutritional status, vitamin, and mineral levels between individuals with telogen effluvium and a control group, aiming to understand the nutritional factors involved in this condition.

This study found that plasma zinc concentrations were significantly lower in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, especially those with skin manifestations of zinc deficiency, compared to control subjects.

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

In this study, a 54-year-old woman with short bowel syndrome developed biotin deficiency and associated symptoms while on home parenteral nutrition lacking biotin, which improved significantly after supplementation.

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.
