TL;DR: The content of zinc in peripheral-blood leucocytes decreased from the second trimester of normal pregnancy, but was significantly lower in mothers giving birth to babies who were small for gestational age than in mothers with either normal or small, but appropriate for gestations, preterm babies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences at birth and differences in fetal growth
TL;DR: It is argued that the anthropometric differences at birth can only be achieved if the products of conception are also expressing a sexual bias in metabolism and physiology, and this bias would determine the efficiency of the implantation and growth processes and lead to rates of survival to birth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral iron and the bioavailability of zinc.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the reduced bioavailability of zinc occurs because of interelement competition in the bowel wall, which might induce zinc depletion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peripheral blood leucocyte zinc depletion in babies with intrauterine growth retardation.
TL;DR: It is suggested that this fetal tissue zinc depletion is caused by maternal zinc depletion, and may reflect a reduction of whole body zinc status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rod mediated retinal dysfunction in cats with zinc depletion: Comparison with taurine depletion
TL;DR: Cats fed for 4 months with a diet with less than 7 p.p.m. zinc developed tissue zinc depletion, as judged by reduced muscle zinc content, and dark adapted electroretinogram thresholds became elevated in zinc depleted cats.
