KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
Experimental evidence has indicated that dietary zinc levels may modulate the accumulation and toxic response to lead, cadmium, and mercury.
Insufficient zinc intakes have been shown to increase the risk associated with the exposure of animals to these heavy metals. On the other hand , moderate zinc supplements have been found to have a marked effect in preventing the deleterious effect produced by lead, mercury, and cadmium.
The mechanism by which dietary zinc may influence risks from lead, cadmium, and mercury is not fully understood; however, the factors involved in the absorption from the gastrointestinal tract are of considerable concern.
