Abstract
Gel chromatography indicated that most of the Zn in cow''s milk was associated with high MW fractions, whereas Zn in human milk was associated with low MW fractions. A species difference in Zn-binding ligands may explain why symptoms of the genetic disorder of Zn metabolism, acrodermatitis enteropathica, can be alleviated by feeding human but not cow''s milk.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
