Old literature documented that zinc supplementation performed throughout the whole life span of rodents is able to delay some age-related cell-mediated immune modifications, such as the decreased circulating thymic hormone levels (Iwata et al. Dietary zinc and selenium are important nutritional factors for the immune response in protecting against the appearance of age-related diseases. These findings suggest that low dose supplementation of zinc and selenium provides significant improvement in elderly patients by increasing the humoral response after vaccination and decreased influenza compliances (respiratory tract infections) with thus a possible impact on the maintenance of health conditions during aging. ./cache/cord-017148-o9qg2qta.txt ./txt/cord-017148-o9qg2qta.txt
