This binding is so complete that scientists who wish to study the effects of
low zinc concentrations in test animals merely add soy bran to the animals» diet.
Decreases
in zinc concentrations, including in rice and wheat, could plunge an additional 150 million to 200 million people into zinc deficiency, the researchers calculate.
According to the report, zinc sprays during the four different developmental stages increased
zinc concentration of peeled and washed fruit at harvest without phytotoxicity.
Barnett JB, Dao MC, Hamer DH, et al: Effect of Zinc Supplementation on
Serum Zinc Concentration and T Cell Proliferation in Nursing Home Elderly: A Randomized, Double - Blind, Placebo - Controlled Trial.
No significant differences were noted for the proportion of infants with a low
zinc concentration < 70 mcg / L (RR 0.75, 95 % CI [0.43 to 1.33], p = 0.33; 1 trial / 101 infants).
Results from a large cross-sectional survey suggest that 44 % of children with sickle cell disease have a low
plasma zinc concentration [42], possibly due to increased nutrient requirements and / or poor nutritional status [43].
Fathizadeh S, Amani R, Haghighizadeh MH, Hormozi R. Comparison of
serum zinc concentrations and body antioxidant status between young women with premenstrual syndrome and normal controls: A case - control study.
They then harvested the apples at maturity and analyzed the fruit for quality and
zinc concentration.
