Abstract
Summary A significant decrease in the activity of somatomedin-C (SM-C) was observed due to zinc deficiency. SM-C activity correlated significantly with b.wt gain and with the status of zinc in rats. The present findings provide an insight into the mechanism by which zinc promotes growth and development.Keywords
