Zinc and breast cancer risk
نویسندگان
چکیده
Zinc is a micronutrient, which is essential for human health, playing role as a cofactor of enzymes such as dehydrogenases, peptidases and component of zinc finger domains. In organism zinc is involved in metabolic pathways, immune processes, maintaining ion balance between other elements. Recently, it has been reported that zinc may play role in chemoprevention, and its level may be associated with cancer risk.
