“…Moreover, there is some evidence that zinc supplements can be used to maintain the balance of blood fats and blood sugar levels for overweight and obese children [ 219 ]. In addition, zinc also improves endothelial function in obese pediatric patients [ 220 ], and it is known that SARS-CoV2 infection has a negative impact on obesity [ 221 , 222 ].…”

Zinc is an important trace element for growth and health at pediatric ages. Zinc is fundamental in inflammatory pathways, oxidative balance, and immune function. Zinc exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by modulating Nuclear Factor-kappa (NF-κB) activity and reducing histamine release from basophils, leukocytes, and mast cells. Furthermore, its antioxidant activity protects against oxidative damage and chronic diseases. Finally, zinc improves the ability to trigger effective immune responses against pathogens by contributing to the maturation of lymphocytes, the production of cytokines, and the regulation of apoptosis. Given these properties, zinc can be considered an adjunctive therapy in treating and preventing respiratory, nephrological, and gastrointestinal diseases, both acute and chronic. This review aims to deepen the role and metabolism of zinc, focusing on the role of supplementation in developed countries in pediatric diseases.

“…For instance, Zinc (Zn) is a cofactor of more than 300 enzymes [2]. Zn is involved in cell division, immune function, DNA synthesis [3], and blood sugar regulation [4]. Adult males are suggested to take 11-15 mg/day of Zn from foodstuffs such as oysters, red meat, poultry, beans, nuts, and dairy products [3].…”

“…The major advantage of nanoparticles is their large porosity and enormous specific surface area. Kinetically, the adsorption process of nanoparticles is faster than bulk adsorbent [4]. Moreover, they have been employed for heavy metals remediation, such as Hg(II) [18], As(V) [21], and Ni(II) [19].…”

Chitosan/Alginate Nanoparticles (CANPs) were produced via microemulsion method. SEM images captured that CANPs has rough, irregular, and porous surfaces. The particle sizes were in the range of 1-15 nm with an average diameter of 8.31 nm. CANPs were applied for trace metals removal. Optimum adsorption capacity of Zn(II) and Cu(II) were 8.144 and 5.582 mg g-1, respectively. Kinetic studies show that the adsorption of Zn(II) and Cu(II) onto CANPs fitted pseudo second order model. Isotherm studies determined that the sorption followed Dubinin-radushkevich model. Zn(II) adsorbed CANPs (Zn/CANPs) and Cu(II) adsorbed CANPs (Cu/CANPs) were investigate their antibacterial activity againts E. coli and S. aureus. Zone of Inhibition (ZOI) of Zn/CANPs were 19.3 mm (E. coli) and 17.5 mm (S. aureus). ZOI of Cu/CANPs were 14.17 mm (E. coli) and 10.75 mm (S. aureus). The results revealed that CANPs were a promising bifunctional material for metals removal and has good antibacterial activity.
