Association between Serum Zinc and Calcification Propensity (T(50)) in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and In Vitro Effect of Exogenous Zinc on T(50)

Zinc inhibits vascular calcification in vivo and in vitro. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus show hypozincemia and are at an elevated risk of cardiovascular events. Recently, an in vitro test (T(50)-test) was developed for determination of serum calcification propensity and a shorter T(50) mean...
