Association between Serum Zinc and Calcification Propensity (T<sub>50</sub>) in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and In Vitro Effect of Exogenous Zinc on T<sub>50</sub>

Association between Serum Zinc and Calcification Propensity (T<sub>50</sub>) in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and In Vitro Effect of Exogenous Zinc on T<sub>50</sub>

Zinc inhibits vascular calcification in vivo and in vitro. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus show hypozincemia and are at an elevated risk of cardiovascular events. Recently, an in vitro test (T<sub>50</sub>-test) was developed for determination of serum calcification propensity and...
