[The efficacy of the use of lactic acid lactobacterin enriched with zinc in the treatment of patients with celiac disease].

Abstract

Zinc sulfate-enriched lactic acid lactobacterin was used in the combined treatment of 23 children with celiac disease, aged from 1 to 10 years. A group of 23 children with celiac disease who received lactic acid lactobacterin without zinc were used as control. The patients treated with lactobacterin containing zinc showed a higher increase in body mass, total protein and zinc levels in the blood serum and elevated activity of metalloenzymes-ceruloplasmin and cytochrome oxidase.
