锌是人体中所谓的微量元素之一，但在自然界中，它存在于地壳中，含量约为0.02%，在元素丰度顺序中排名第23位。在这种情况下，它比今天生物学家不太熟悉的许多元素（例如锆、钒或锶）要稀缺得多。锌对人类和动物的正常生活都是必不可少的，这一点现在已经毋庸置疑，锌在20世纪30年代首次被证明是大鼠和小鼠正常生长所必需的（Todd et al. 1934; Bertrand and Bhattacherjee 1935）。
Zinc is one of the so-called trace elements present in the body, but in nature it is present in the Earth’s crust to the extent of about 0.02% and is 23rd in the order of abundance of the elements. In this context it is far scarcer than many elements which are less familiar to biologists today (e.g. zirconium, vanadium or strontium). That zinc is essential for normal life in both humans and animals is now beyond doubt, having been first shown to be required for normal growth in rats and mice in the 1930s (Todd et al. 1934; Bertrand and Bhattacherjee 1935).
