“…Some studies con rmed the effect of zinc supplementation in thymic output and its ability to reduce the risk of infection in the elderly (27,32,33). Zinc supplementation can reduce the incidence and severity of mucositis in patients receiving chemotherapy by improving the effectiveness of immune system; however, the exact mechanism of this effect is not completely clear (34)(35)(36)(37). A clinical study reported high-dose zinc supplementation improved thymic output and T cells reconstitution post HSCT in patients with multiple myeloma compared to placebo group.…”
