This study found no association between serum zinc levels and alopecia areata severity in patients.

This study found that male androgenetic alopecia patients had significantly lower serum zinc levels and suboptimal biotin levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting the potential value of zinc and biotin supplementation.

This study found that low levels of ferritin and iron were common among women with diffuse hair loss, suggesting these tests could be useful in evaluating such patients.

This study found no significant difference in serum and hair levels of iron, zinc, and copper between female alopecia areata patients and healthy controls.

This study found that individuals with hair loss complaints had slightly lower zinc levels compared to controls, but the difference was clinically insignificant, suggesting zinc testing is not essential for diagnosing hair loss.

This study suggests that elevated levels of certain heavy metals, rather than zinc, may play a causative role in primary chronic telogen effluvium.

This study found that among university students, both low and high zinc levels were associated with significant hair loss, while these zinc concentrations did not significantly impact other health issues like diarrhea, acne, or weight loss.

This study observed that patients with various types of hair loss had significantly lower serum zinc levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting zinc disturbance may play a role in the condition.

This study in rats with a portocaval shunt observed severe ultrastructural damage to the inner ear, associated with zinc deficiency and symptoms resembling liver cirrhosis in humans.

In this case report, a two-year-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica was misdiagnosed for over a year before low serum zinc levels led to the correct diagnosis, and her skin lesions resolved completely after two weeks of zinc sulfate treatment.

This case report describes a rare instance where a child with nonketotic hyperglycinemia developed an acrodermatitis enteropathica-like eruption, likely due to combined zinc and branched chain amino acid deficiencies.

This study suggests that abnormal levels of zinc, copper, and iron in serum or hair may serve as auxiliary and prognostic tests for various skin diseases, though further research is necessary due to conflicting data.

This study observed that individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus have notably lower levels of essential and trace elements like Calcium, Potassium, and Zinc in biological samples compared to non-diabetic controls.

This review found that patients with alopecia areata may have lower levels of vitamin D, zinc, and folate, but conflicting evidence precludes definitive clinical recommendations for micronutrient supplementation.

This review found little evidence supporting zinc as a first-line treatment for dermatological conditions, except in cases of systemic zinc deficiency, and suggests further research is needed.

This review discusses the mechanisms of zinc transport, its role in human health, and the effects of zinc imbalance, without reporting new results.

This study found that hair content of iron and zinc does not play a role in chemotherapy-induced alopecia in children with cancer.

This case study of a 2-month-old boy with maple syrup urine disease highlights the dangers of restricting branched-chain amino acid intake, as it led to acrodermatitis dysmetabolica-like skin eruptions and hair loss, later resolved with careful dietary adjustments and monitoring.

This study found that living environment significantly influenced Fe concentrations in dog and cat hair, with outdoor animals showing higher levels than those kept indoors.

In this study, a syndrome of zinc deficiency was observed in adults receiving intravenous feeding, with zinc supplementation improving symptoms except for delayed hair regrowth.

This study investigated 130 patients and found a significant inverse correlation between copper content and the copper/zinc ratio in hair samples and the extent of coronary artery disease, while zinc content alone showed no significant relationship with disease extent.

This study found that children with autism spectrum disorder generally have lower levels of both essential and toxic trace elements in their hair compared to controls.

This study found that an increased calcium/magnesium ratio in hair and lower chromium concentration were associated with higher insulin resistance in Korean adult males.

This study found that a modest increase in dietary zinc over six months resulted in a detectable increase in sulfur and zinc counts in individual hairs, suggesting a non-invasive method to monitor zinc intake effects.

This review discusses the use of zinc supplementation in dermatology for various skin conditions and reports no new clinical results, providing references for its application.

This study observed that many female pattern hair loss patients had concurrent conditions such as telogen effluvium, hypothyroidism, and hypertension, with a significant percentage having low Vitamin D levels.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamins and minerals in managing non-scarring alopecia but reports no clinical results; the authors advocate for further controlled trials to explore these relationships.

This study found that children with pituitary dwarfism had higher zinc and copper hair concentrations and lower manganese concentrations compared to healthy children.

This study found that a two-month antioxidant treatment significantly improved hair growth in patients with alopecia areata by enhancing antioxidant defenses and correcting trace metal imbalances.

This study describes two thallium poisoning outbreaks, highlighting characteristic symptoms like hair loss and peripheral neuropathy, and emphasizes that such poisoning can stem from accidental or criminal ingestion.
