Supplementing with Zn a rat diet in which the sole source of protein was autoclaved Navy beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) resulted in a very modest increase in growth rate (6% in PER). Supplementation of the same diet with methionine resulted in a much greater increase in growth rate (110% in PER).This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
