The measurement of exchangeable pools of zinc using the stable isotope Zn
1993
British Journal of Nutrition
The present study was designed to assess the feasibility of using small doses of a stable isotope of Zn to follow plasma kinetics over a 10 d period and, hence, make deductions about Zn turnover and body pool sizes. At the beginning of the 10 d metabolic balance, two adults, consuming their habitual diet, were given an intravenous injection of 70Zn. There was a fourfold difference in the administered dose between the two subjects (0.445 and 2.078 mg). Blood samples were taken at regular
