Abstract
, has been reported to play a role for virus infection, and zinc has been shown to inhibit the virus replication of multiple viruses. However, the mechanism through which zinc is acting is not well understood. These results suggest that the lipid regulation mediated by zinc may play a relevant role during mammalian virus infection.
