Oxygen and zinc abundances in 417 Galactic bulge red giants
(2018)
Context. Oxygen and zinc in the Galactic bulge are key elements for the understanding of the bulge chemical evolution. Oxygen-to-iron abundance ratios provide a most robust indicator of the star formation rate and chemical ...
The role of zinc in carcinogenesis
(2016-01-01)
Zinc is the second most abundant trace element in humans and is essential for the activity of more than 300 enzymes. It affects the conformation of many transcription factors associated with control of cell proliferation, ...
Fatty acid desaturation in red blood cell membranes of patients with type 2 diabetes is improved by zinc supplementation
(Elsevier, 2020)
Background/Objective: Membrane flexibility can be a determining factor in pathophysiological mechanisms of type 2 diabetes (T2D). As a cofactor of delta-5 desaturase (D5D) and delta-6 desaturase (D6D), and gene expression ...
Galactic evolution of sulphur as traced by globular clusters
(EDP SCIENCES S A, 2015)
Context. Sulphur is an important volatile a element, but its role in the Galactic chemical evolution is still uncertain, and more observations constraining the sulphur abundance in stellar photospheres are required.
Zinc abundances in Galactic bulge field red giants: Implications for damped Lyman-alpha systems
(2015)
Context. Zinc in stars is an important reference element because it is a proxy to Fe in studies of damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAs), permitting a comparison of chemical evolution histories of bulge stellar populations and ...
The zinc finger protein TcZFP2 binds target mRNAs enriched during Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclogenesis
