Zinc: an essential trace element for parenteral nutrition
Gastroenterology.
2009 Nov.
Abstract
Zinc is an essential trace element for human nutrition that is an integral part of many enzyme systems, including DNA polymerase complex. Zinc deficiency has been associated with stunting of growth and sexual immaturity. In children, deficiency causes a fatal condition called acrodermatitis enteropathica. The same syndrome has been observed in patients on total parenteral nutrition (TPN) who do not receive zinc. In TPN the requirements have been estimated by balance studies to be 3 mg/d in patients without gastrointestinal losses and a mean of 12 mg/d in patients with diarrhea and fistula losses.
