Introduction: Background As co-factors of metalloenzymes, zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) have a significant impact on practically every metabolic process that occurs in bodily organs, including the metabolism of the skin.
OBJECTIVE: This study looked at the levels of zinc and copper in people with alopecia areata.
METHODS Using atomic absorption spectrometry, we examined the zinc and copper levels in the serum of 150 alopecia areata patients and 150 healthy people. We also looked into the relevance of the difference in serum levels of the two metals.
RESULTS When compared to healthy controls, alopecia areata patients had considerably reduced serum zinc levels. In comparison to healthy controls, alopecia areata patients had somewhat lower serum copper levels. Cu and Zn values were marginally less in alopecia areata patients than in unaffected controls. Their variations, however, were highly statistically significant.
CONCLUSION
We suggest that serum Cu & Zn assay should be included in the chemical assessment of patients with alopecia areata.
