The Relationship between Zinc and Insulin Signaling: Implications for Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a debilitating metabolic disorder that is typically characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia and is concomitant with a range of other complications including cardiovascular disease, stroke, peripheral neuropathy, and renal disease.

The aetiology of T2D is highly complex and reflects multifaceted interactions with genetics and the environment, and thus requires a multipronged approach to develop better management and treatments options that are more patient tolerable.

These are urgently needed to reduce the clinical symptoms and features of the disease.
