Zinc acetate acts as an immune response modulator. Zinc acetate enhances the expression of HSP-70 mRNA. Zinc acetate restores the proliferation and cytokine production capacities of splenocytes. Zinc acetate reduces the Apoptosis level of splenocytes in endotoxemic mice. Zinc acetate increases plasma zinc levels and improves survival rates in mice with LPS-induced lethal endotoxemia. Zinc acetate induces rapid death of prostate cancer cell lines in vitro. Zinc acetate inhibits the growth of prostate cancer xenografts in SCID mice. Zinc acetate can be used in endotoxemia research[1][2].
