Read MoreINTRODUCTION. Zinc essentiality was established in 1869 for plants, in 1934 for experimental animals and in 1961 for humans.[] A syndrome of anemia, hypogonadism and dwarfism was reported in a 21-year-old Iranian farmer in 1961 who was subsisting on a diet of unrefined flat bread, potatoes, and milk.[] Shortly after, a similar syndrome was …
