Description
Summary:Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721 The influence of Zn deficiency on the plasma level as well as the hepatic and intestinal gene expression of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I was examined in rats and hamsters. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (8 wk old) and Golden Syrian hamsters (7 wk old) were assigned to three dietary treatments: Zn adequate (ZA, 30 mg Zn/kg diet), Zn deficient (ZD,
