While this study and previous work linking zinc deficiency to inflammation might suggest that supplementation could help very sick ICU patients it's still too early to make that leap.

Usually if there is zinc deficiency we would expect to see other nutrient deficiencies too. Zinc deficiency affects about 2 billion people worldwide including an estimated 40 percent of the elderly in the United states--who are also among the most likely Americans to end up in an ICU.

The research is published in the journal Cell Reports. Knoell's lab previously showed that zinc-deficient mice developed overwhelming inflammation in response to sepsis compared to mice on a normal diet.

When researchers allowed this protein to function unchecked in mice with zinc deficiency the animals developed excessive inflammation in response to sepsis--confirmation that IKKB was zinc's target to turn off the inflammatory pathway.

His lab is continuing to study the NF-Î B pathway inflammation and zinc deficiency in other disease processes.

#Drop in global malnutrition depends on agricultural productivity, climate changeglobal malnutrition could fall 84 percent by the year 2050 as incomes in developing countries grow

--but only if agricultural productivity continues to improve and climate change does not severely damage agriculture Purdue University researchers say.

The prevalence and severity of global malnutrition could drop significantly by 2050 particularly in the poorest regions of the world said Thomas Hertel Distinguished Professor of Agricultural Economics.

But if productivity does not grow global malnutrition will worsen even if incomes increase. Climate change also adds a good deal of uncertainty to these projections.

The shift toward a diet higher in calories and richer in protein could lift many in hunger-stricken regions such as Sub-saharan africa South Asia China and Mongolia above the malnutrition line.

Income growth alone will not be enough to solve the malnutrition problem. Historically agricultural productivity has been driven by investments in agricultural research and development.
