Abstract
A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was
conducted to investigate how Zn intake influences plasma/serum Zn
concentrations. We used protocols developed by EURRECA to
perform a literature search for papers published up until February
2010 through MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library
CENTRAL. We extracted data from studies that investigated
apparently healthy adults and elderly, and conducted the metaanalysis
using STATA (11.0). The relationship between Zn intake
and plasma/serum Zn concentrations following intervention was
expressed as a regression coefficient (beta), i.e., the gradient of the
response curve expressed on a natural log scale. The final metaanalysis
included 31 data sets from 15 RCTs. Pooled data revealed a
significant relationship between Zn intake and plasma/serum Zn
concentrations with an overall beta value of 0.14 (95% CI 0.11-0.18,
