Abstract

To determine the effects of marginal zinc deficiency and repletion on essential fatty acid, sphingolipid, and lipoprotein metabolism 16 healthy male subjects between ages of 18–45 were subjected to three sequential phases of dietary zinc intake modulation.

This work is an output of the HarvestPlus Programme. The Department for International Development is one of the main donors for HarvestPlus.
