Abstract
The association of zinc and vitamin A levels was studied in liver of foetuses and infants which were stillborn or died of various causes between the age of 26 weeks of gestation up to 16 weeks post-partum. No correlation between zinc and vitamins A was observed (r = 0.07). Although smaller infants had more hepatic vitamin A than larger infants no significant difference was observed between these groups for liver zinc values.Keywords
