Resumo: Recent clinical and experimental findings have reinforced the importance of zinc in human nutrition. Zinc plays a key role in the function of several enzymes like alcohol dehydrogenase, copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, carbonic anhydrase, alkaline phosphatase, ribonucleic acid polymerase and enzymes in the central nervous system. Zinc also participates in cell division, genetic expression, physiological processes like growth and development, genetic transcription, as well as programmed cell death, acting in the stabilization of biomembrane structures and cellular components. Furthermore, zinc affects the immune function and cognitivedevelopment. Effects of its deficiency include hypogonadism, oxidative damage, and alterations in the immune system, hypogeusia, neuropsychological impairment and dermatitis. In view of the abundant research on this mineral, this study had the objective of divulging more recent literature supporting the concept that zinc is essential in human nutrition.

O zinco possibilita várias funções bioquímicas, pois é componente de inúmeras enzimas, dentre estas, álcool desidrogenase, superóxido dismutase, anidrase carbônica, fosfatase alcalina e enzimas do sistema nervoso central. Participa na divisão celular, expressão genética, processos fisiológicos como crescimento e desenvolvimento, na transcrição genética, na morte celular, age como estabilizador de estruturas de membranas e componentes celulares, além de participar da função imune e desenvolvimento cognitivo. Sua deficiência pode causar alterações fisiológicas como, hipogonodismo, danos oxidativos, alterações do sistema imune, hipogeusia, danos neuropsicológicos e dermatites. Assim, devido a inúmeras pesquisas referentes a este mineral, este trabalho teve como objetivo mostrar os aspectos atuais sobre a essencialidade do zinco na nutrição humana.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-08-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9170Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 17 No. 1 (2004): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 17 Núm. 1 (2004): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 17 n. 1 (2004): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9170/6555Copyright (c) 2023 Denise MAFRA, Sílvia Maria Franciscato COZZOLINOhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMAFRA, Denise Franciscato COZZOLINO, Sílvia Maria 2023-08-11T14:29:55Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9170Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-08-11T14:29:55Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
