The immunomodulatory effects of zinc on the immune system have also been elucidated. Zinc is involved in regulating the cellular signaling pathways of immune cells and affecting the development of immune organs, the physiological state and function of immune cells and the secretion of cytokines. It is an indispensable element in the immune system and plays an important role in maintaining the integrity and stability of the immune system.
