## Abstract Vesicular zinc (Zn^2+^) is found in a subset of glutamatergic nerve terminals throughout the mammalian forebrain and is colocalized with glutamate. Despite wellβdocumented neuromodulatory roles, exocytosis of endogenous Zn^2+^ from presynaptic terminals has never been directly demonstra

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Food acidulants, Ξ²βcaroteneβrich vegetables and sulfur compoundβrich __Allium__ spices are known to improve zinc bioaccessibility from food grains. This animal study evaluated the positive influence of these promoters of zinc bioaccessibility on zinc status during zinc r
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.
