Abstract

A study of the urinary zinc excretion pattern of diabetic subjects, relatives of diabetics and controls has been undertaken. Diabetics show a significant hyperzincuria as compared with controls. Family studies have indicated that urinary zinc excretion could be under polygenic control. The genes involved could be important in the diabetic and prediabetic diathesis.
