Abstract in brief

  • Zinc is a vital micronutrient essential for proper immune system function, particularly in regulating both innate and adaptive responses.
  • Zinc deficiency, often caused by malnutrition, impairs cell-mediated immunity, increases inflammation, and worsens outcomes in bacterial infections and sepsis.
  • Zinc influences key immune processes such as neutrophil function, inflammation regulation through NFKB, and oxidative stress control, highlighting its critical role in managing infection and inflammation.
