In conclusion , Zinc supplementation  has favourable effects on plasma lipid parameters .
Zinc supplementation  significantly reduced total cholesterol , LDL cholesterol and triglycerides .
Therefore it may have the potential to reduce the incidence of atherosclerosis related morbidity and mortality
Zinc is a mineral that plays a vital role in many biological processes and plays an important role in insulin action and carbohydrate metabolism .
It may also have a protective role in the prevention of atherogenesis .
Numerous studies have evaluated the effects of Zinc supplementation on serum lipids in humans and have demonstrated varying results .
We systematic ally evaluated the literature and performed a meta- analysis on the effects of Zinc supplementation on serum lipids .
Zinc ingestion and lipoprotein values in sedentary and endurance-trained men.
The finding that high doses ( 160 mg ) of zinc lowered high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol prompted us to study the effect of low-dose zinc supplementation on lipoprotein values in sedentary and endurance-trained men . Twenty-one endurance-trained and 23 sedentary men received either placebo or 50 mg of zinc sulfate daily for eight weeks . Despite the fact that plasma zinc increased 15 % , fasting plasma high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol , total cholesterol , low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol , and triglyceride levels did not change in response to zinc ingestion . We conclude that low-dose zinc supplementation does not affect lipid or lipoprotein values in either endurance-trained or sedentary men
