Abstract
Adult rats were given 4.4-12.4 mgm. daily of zinc malate, acetate, or citrate for 29 weeks. Growth and reproduction were studied and later analysis made of various organs to determine total Zn content. No significant effect upon the health or fertility of the parents or upon the early growth of the offspring was observed. Storage of Zn above the normal was not found.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
