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 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.

This study reported successful treatment of biotin deficiency in three patients receiving total parenteral nutrition, suggesting current biotin supplementation recommendations may be inadequate to maintain normal biotin status.

This study found that the concentrations of major inorganic elements in human scalp hair increase with age up to 25 years, and calcium and magnesium concentrations are significantly associated with sex in individuals over 20.

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 study observed that zinc deficiency in humans and mice was associated with diminished allergic contact dermatitis but increased severity and duration of irritant contact dermatitis.

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

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 study found that 1% ketoconazole and 1% piroctone olamine shampoos increased hair shaft thickness and reduced hair shedding in men with telogen effluvium and androgenic alopecia associated with dandruff.

This review examines skin symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of zinc deficiency in children, proposing a classification system but reporting no new clinical results.

This study reports no new clinical results on oral zinc therapy for acrodermatitis enteropathica but provides demographic data and symptom prevalence among thirty affected children.

This study in mice found that a zinc-deficient diet suppressed body weight gain and increased kidney and cecum tissue weight without decreasing serum alkaline phosphatase activity. Additionally, zinc deficiency caused alopecia and intestinal changes in C57BL/6J mice, potentially affecting nutritional status.

This study found that pregnant women in Al Muthanna Province, Iraq, frequently have low serum zinc and ferritin levels, especially those experiencing hair loss, posing a significant public health concern.

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 study found that while serum zinc levels were lower in children treated with valproic acid or carbamazepine than in healthy controls, zinc, biotin, and biotinidase enzyme activity remained within normal ranges and unaffected by these treatments.

This review discusses the relationship between zinc deficiency and skin disorders, emphasizing zinc transporters' roles, but it reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight potential benefits of regulating zinc levels via transporters.

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 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.

In this study, testosterone and finasteride were found to increase insulin and zinc levels while decreasing chromium levels in male adult rats, suggesting potential effects on the glucose cycle.

In this study, a low concentration zinc sulphate solution was investigated for managing recurrent herpes simplex infections, but no new clinical results were reported.

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 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 article discusses the widespread issue of zinc deficiency affecting plant, animal, and human health, and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for adequate zinc availability in agriculture and nutrition.

This review discusses the use of zinc in treating dermatological conditions and concludes that, aside from systemic zinc deficiency, its efficacy as a primary treatment is unproven, though it may be useful as a supplementary therapy.

This study found that severe zinc deficiency induced in weanling rats led to growth retardation, hair issues, and dermal lesions, all of which were completely reversed by zinc supplementation.

This study found that high-dose oral zinc significantly influences hair growth in mice, showing both inhibition and promotion effects depending on the timing and duration of administration.

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

This pilot study observed that post-bariatric surgery, both zinc and iron deficiencies increased among Iraqi patients, underscoring the importance of lifelong nutritional monitoring and targeted supplementation to address these issues and prevent related complications.

This study found high levels of toxic heavy metals in water sources of mining communities in Abakaliki, Nigeria, posing potential health risks including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

This study found that valproic acid may interfere with the leucine metabolic pathway by inhibiting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and biotinidase, which could contribute to side effects like skin rash and hair loss in patients.
