The study, published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, found that zinc transporters were significantly dysregulated in older animals. The animals showed signs of zinc deficiency and had an enhanced inflammatory response even though their diets supposedly contained adequate amounts of zinc. This could be significant for older adults. âThe elderly are the fastest growing population in the US and are highly vulnerable to zinc deficiency,â says Emily Ho, PhD, a principal investigator with the Linus Pauling Institute and an associate professor in Oregon Stateâs School of Biological and Population Health Sciences.
