β¦ Synopsis
Dietary zinc deficiency has been shown to decrease the in vivo incor. poration of thymidine into the nuclear DNA of liver parenchymal cells in the rat. A single injection of 100 pg of zinc was sufficient to rapidly reverse the effect of zinc deficiency on the synthesis of DNA.

Hypogonadism is a major manifestation of zinc deficiency in both humans and animals. In this study, we try to elucidate the main role of zinc in regulating the testicular function. Ninty male weanling albino rats were divided into three groups: control, zinc-deficient (ZD), and zinc-supplemented (2s

The addition of regucalcin (0.25 and 0.5 ΞΌM) in the reaction mixture caused a significant decrease in
