Zinc status of the individual may also influence adjustments in fractional zinc absorption.
The assay is quick, convenient, and in principle measures functionally available zinc.
Zinc absorption in humans could be improved by zinc complexation with gluconate.
The large changes in zinc intake, excretion, and absorption-even when considered together-only explained modest reductions in plasma zinc mass.
The model is able to explain the experimental evidence collected so far in our laboratory: high zinc yields are only obtained if the zinc/oxygen mixture is strongly diluted with inert gas.
The results of the present experiment indicate that the zinc tolerance test, that is, an unequivocal rise in serum zinc following per oral administration of this metal, provides the best indication of zinc status.
In conclusion, the present experiment showed that zinc sulphate and zinc gluconate are equally efficient as zinc supplements in salmon feeds within the concentrations normally found in salmon feed.
