Zusammenfassung
Wachstumshormon und IGF-1 regulieren die Hirnfunktion. Mit der Alterung des Gehirns nimmt IGF-1 ab. Durch IGF-1-Zufuhr bei Mangel an Wachstumshormon und IGF-1 konnte tierexperimentell die Glukoseutilisation im Gehirn gebessert werden. IGF-1 und die IGF-1-Rezeptor-Genexpression wird durch Zinksupplementierung gesteigert.
IL-2 ist das wichtigste die Zellproliferation fördernde Zytokin. Mit der Alterung nimmt die IL-2-Sekretion ab, besonders bei Dementen. Durch Zinkzufuhr kann die IL-2-Abnahme wieder normalisiert werden.
Oxidativer Stress hat pathogenetische Bedeutung. Zur Entgiftung von Radikalen sind enzymatische Mechanismen notwendig. Dabei wirkt Zink antiinflammatorisch und membranstabilisierend.
Abstract
Growth hormone and IGF-1 regulate the brain function. With the ageing of the brain, IGF-1 decreases. In animal experiments it was possible to improve the utilization of glucose in the brain by supplying IGF-1 when a deficiency of growth hormone and IGF-1 was present. IGF-1 and the IGF-1 receptor gene expression are increased by zinc supplementation.
IL-2 is the most important cytokine which improves the cell proliferation. With ageing, the secretion of IL-2 is reduced, especially with people suffering from dementia. By supplying zinc, the reduction of IL-2 can be normalized again.
Oxidative stress is of pathogenic significance. Enzymatic mechanisms are necessary for the detoxification of radicals. In this case, zinc has an anti-inflammatory and membrane stabilizing effect.
