Minerals are essential nutrients for the body, are of inorganic nature which gives them the characteristic of being resistant to heat, are involved in a lot of chemical reactions in metabolism, regulating electrolyte balance, in maintaining bone, in the process of blood clotting and the transmission of nerve impulses, particularly its role as enzyme cofactors confers a key role in various physiological processes. Glucose homeostasis involves a fine coordination of events where hormonal control by insulin plays a key role. However, the role of minerals like magnesium, zinc, chromium, iron and selenium in the diabetes is less obvious and in some cases may be controversial. This review shows the knowledge of these five elements and their correlation with diabetes.
矿物质是人体必需的营养素，具有无机性质，这使其具有耐热的特性，参与新陈代谢中的许多化学反应，调节电解质平衡，维持骨骼健康，参与血液凝固过程和神经冲动传递，特别是其作为酶辅因子的作用在各种生理过程中发挥关键作用。葡萄糖稳态涉及多种事件的精细协调，其中胰岛素的激素控制起着关键作用。然而，镁、锌、铬、铁和硒等矿物质在糖尿病中的作用尚不明显，在某些情况下可能存在争议。本综述展示了对这五种元素的认识及其与糖尿病的相关性。
