Plasma zinc levels were measured in both healthy and diabetic individuals having an age range of 10–93 years. No significant differences in plasma zinc concentrations were found between males and females in either healthy or diabetic individuals. Up to the age of 50 years, the mean plasma zinc of normal individuals remained relatively constant at 70 ± 32µg/100 ml ( ± 2 SE) after which the levels decreased. This decreasing pattern was absent in diabetics, whose plasma zinc of 65 ± 32µg/100 ml remained constant over the entire age range. For women on oral contraceptive agents, the mean plasma zinc was 59 ± 18 µg/100 ml, which was significantly lower than that of controls.

“…The fertility index of the semen samples was assessed using a modification of the scoring system described by Eliasson (2). Blood plasma and whole semen samples were analyzed for zinc, copper and magnesium by the atomic absorption spectrophotometry method described by Mikac-Devie (11). Alkaline phosphatase in both semen and plasma was also estimated.…”

Semen samples collected from 47 Nigerian patients attending infertility clinics were analyzed for zinc, copper, magnesium and enzyme alkaline phosphatase. The results were correlated with the semen quality, which was assessed by the biophysical characteristics of the spermatozoa. Results of the analysis divided the patients into three groups: 9 fertile patients, 9 patients of doubtful fertility and 29 patients with severely pathologic ejaculates. The biophysical differences among the three groups were significant. Biochemical studies of the specimens did not, however, demonstrate enough significant variation to show that the semen values of the three groups could be used as an index of male fertility.

“…Its requirement for the action of various metalloenzymes is well known (5), and its influence on the activity of mammalian (1) and Escherichia coli (6) DNA polymerase has been reported. While zinc may play a role in the maintenance of the conformation of nucleic acids (7), and zinc nutriture of the animal influences the Table 1.…”
