Not Applicable

• Conditions: Zinc deficiency

• Registration Number: JPRN-UMIN000015978
• Lead Sponsor: Saitama Medical University International Medical Center

Brief Summary

After lyzing total blood and red blood cells, supernatant solution samples were analysed its zinc content. The red color of the samples disturbed the colorimetoric assay and 20x dilution was necessary to assay. The intake of zinc supplement did not induced the increase of zinc storage volume in red blood cells and total blood. Seven days intake was not sufficient.
