Abstract

Zinc deficiency is a problem faced by a large number of people, a U.S. study showing that only 46% of the population aged over 71 years has the best amount of zinc in the body. Due to the very complex role of zinc deficiency in this trace, it can occur through a variety of symptoms affecting multiple body functions.

Zinc was demonstrated to have the ability to neutralize free radicals protecting the body from the harmful effects of these effects, ultimately leading to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease derived from premature aging, the immune and immune disorders and increased risk of cancer.

The purpose of the paper is to identify the role of antioxidant systems, with Zn2+ ions in the center of defense and decrease oxidative stress in dynamic interaction with malignant transformed cells.
