Having outlined the important role played by zinc in the human metabolism and the alteration which may occur as a result of a zinc deficit, the paper reports a study of 50 patients affected by irritable bowel syndrome. Two subgroups have been identified (Ac and Ad), characterised by reduced blood zinc [correction of zinchemia] and increased fecal excretion of zinc. This finding suggests that the syndrome has a multifactorial pathogenesis and that over time it may follow a different pattern in the different subgroups.
在概述了锌在人体新陈代谢中所起的重要作用以及锌缺乏可能导致的变化之后，本文报告了一项对50例肠易激综合征患者的研究。已确定两个亚组（Ac和Ad），其特征是血锌降低[纠正锌血症]和粪便锌排泄增加。这一发现表明该综合征具有多因素发病机制，并且随着时间的推移，不同亚组可能会呈现不同的模式。
