Core Tip	Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by the presence of chronic hyperglycemia which favors the manifestation of oxidative stress due to high production of reactive oxygen species and/or induced by the reduction of the antioxidant defense system activity. Zinc plays a relevant role in antioxidant defense in type 2 diabetic patients by acting through different protection mechanisms. Zinc for instance is an essential cofactor for superoxide dismutase enzyme. This mineral also facilitates reduction and neutralization of free radicals. The aim of the present review is to examine the antioxidant role of zinc in type 2 diabetic patients.
