Supplementing iron and zinc: double blind, randomized evaluation of separate or combined delivery

Is There a Link between Zinc Intake and Status with Plasma Fatty Acid Profile and Desaturase Activities in Dyslipidemic Subjects?

“…Decrease in serum Zn levels with a parallel increase in serum Cu concentrations has previously been reported in patients with myocardial infraction [60] and metabolic syndrome [61]. Similarly, concomitant decreases in the concentrations of both Fe and Zn have been described in the past [62,63]. No intercorrelations were seen between the concentrations of trace elements, which was also in accordance with some previously reported data [64,65].…”

Effects of iron deficiency and iron supplementation at the host-microbiota interface: Could a piglet model unravel complexities of the underlying mechanisms?

“…Similarly a recent pilot study assessed the composition of the microbiota in IDA infants and young children concluding that ID is associated with distinct microbial signatures with increased abundance of Enterobacteriacea and Veillonellaceae, and decreased Coriobacteriaceae relative to healthy non-ID controls (53). Consistent with this, several large-scale human trials using various doses for different durations (2-18 months) have, in general, reported that oral iron supplementation is associated with higher risk (1-23%) of developing diarrhea in infants (54)(55)(56). However, the outcomes of such studies have been inconsistent (57,58), which suggests the link is complex and that perhaps other factors are at play.…”
