Abstract
Weanling male rats receiving a diet low in zinc for 2 to 3 weeks had a significant increase of liver non-protein SH compounds and glutathione than those fed a zinc adequate diet. Deficiency of this trace element caused an increase in the incorporation rate of glycine-l-C14 into liver glutathione moiety, but it had no effect on protein synthesis.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
