Abstract
The effects of maternal Fe restriction during pregnancy and lactation on serum lipids and tissue Zn and Cu levels in rat pups were studied. Feeding diets containing 5 ppm Fe to maternal rats produced hyperlipidemia and a decreased ratio of Zn/Cu in livers and spleens of 18 day old pups. Significant correlations were found between Zn/Cu ratio in pups and serum triglycerides, cholesterol and phospholipids.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
