A preliminary study on the possible effects of the acute zinc administration on the anxiety-like behaviour

Summary/Abstract: Zinc ions are trace elements in the human body with key regulatory role over numerous structural, transcriptional and enzymatic proteins essential for the correct function of the central nervous system. In the present work we were interested in determining the possible relevance of acute zinc administration on the anxiety-like behaviour. Our initial results described here show a promising relevance for zinc in anxiety-related context and advocate for further research, considering oxidative stress related mechanisms.
