ABSTRACT Childhood obesity is caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors which have been difficult to identify. We have recently found that some obese children have reduced


levels of hair ZN. Our studies in rats and in adults with coronary artery disease have confirmed an inverse relationship between nutritional ZN status and serum TG levels. We have also


reported a direct relationship between serum T and Zn nutritional status. We are here reporting data indicating that obese children can be divided into two groups. In Group 1 the serum TG


level and hair ZN concentrations are significantly higher than in Group 2, and only in Group 1 is there a direct correlation between serum T and hair ZN. The cause of the lack of a direct


relationship between ZN and T in Group 2 obese children is not known. Thus, obese children also had an inverse relationship between serum TG and hair ZN (*p<0.005). ARTICLE PDF AUTHOR
