Özet

Objective: Adenosine deaminase (ADA) specifically catalyzes the deamination of adenosine which has been proved to play an important role in modulation of insulin action on glucose metabolism. Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is directly involved in the physiology of insulin and may be an important agent to activate the ADA. We aimed to evaluate serum ADA activity, zinc levels and the relationship between these two parameters in diabetes mellitus.
