Zinc is the second most abundant trace element in the body, found in more than 300 metalloenzymes. Carbonic anhydrase, alkaline phosphatase, DNA and RNA polymerases could be listed as important examples. Due to its multiple biochemical functions, zinc deficiency manifests by variety of conditions. Growth failure and stunning, alterations in immune function, diarrhea, skin lesions and alopecia are observed in cases of clinical deficiency.
