Abstract | ||||
Background: The human body contains trace levels of minerals and other micronutrients. Particularly advantageous for physiologic processes, a wide range of biochemical processes, stabilizing proteins and enzymes, and serving as cofactors for different enzymes. These essential micronutrients have a major physiological effect and are significantly associated with diabetes. Cobalt, boron, chromium, copper, Sulphur, iodine, fluoride, selenium, manganese, zinc, and molybdenum are examples of trace elements. Sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron related to macro elements. The main focus of this review is the effect of particular minerals and trace elements on childhood insulin-dependent diabetes. Objective: Our understanding of how minerals and trace elements affect insulin-dependent diabetes in children will be improved as a result of this review, which is its main goal. Conclusion: The interaction, development, and outcomes of insulin-dependent diabetes in children are significantly influenced by minerals and trace elements. | ||||
