近二十多年来,随着分子生物学和生物化学的发展,对微量元素锌的研究取得不少重大成果。锌不仅对机体的代谢和生命有着重要作用,而且还与多种疾病的发病有密切关系,尤其对延缓衰老可能具有特殊功能。本文主要根据近年国内外对锌研究概况作一简要介绍。 In the past two decades, with the development of molecular biology and biochemistry, there have been many significant achievements in the study of trace element zinc. Zinc not only plays an important role in the body’s metabolism and life, but also has a close relationship with the onset of many diseases, and may have special functions in retarding aging. This article mainly makes a brief introduction of zinc research at home and abroad in recent years.
