Zinc may also have the ability to prevent virus expression and replication due to interference and manipulation of viral gene transcriptors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNervous System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc has a number of roles in the brain and central nervous system and is largely involved in neurotransmission, neuroprotection, neurogenesis, neuronal growth and synaptogenesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is involved in the neurotransmission of both Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate by inhibiting their receptors, thereby potentially assisting with the modulation of neuronal excitability.1 It also influences synaptic plasticity and can inhibit dopamine transporters making dopamine available for longer periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow zinc status and intake has been associated with depressive symptoms in some people, and zinc has been shown to affect serotonin uptake in vitro.1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an antioxidant, zinc has the ability to protect against neurotoxicity.
