Popis: Zinc is an indispensable trace element in the human body and plays an important role in regulating normal growth and development. Zinc homeostasis in the central nervous system is closely related to the development of neuroinflammation, and synaptic zinc homeostasis disorders affect zinc homeostasis in the brain. Under the condition of synaptic zinc homeostasis, proper zinc supplementation improves the body’s immunity and inhibits neuroinflammation. Synaptic zinc homeostasis disorder in the brain promotes the occurrence and development of neuroinflammation. Cerebral ischemia and hypoxia cause a massive release of synaptic Zn2+ into the synaptic cleft, resulting in neurotoxicity and neuroinflammation. Synaptic zinc homeostasis disorder is a high-risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. Maintaining cerebral zinc homeostasis suppresses the progression of neuroinflammation-mediated neurodegenerative diseases. This article reviews the relationship between brain zinc homeostasis and neuroinflammation and proposes that maintaining synaptic zinc homeostasis prevents neuroinflammation.
