New research has identified zinc cutoff values for premenopausal women.
2003 DEC 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- New research has identified zinc cutoff values for premenopausal women.
According to published research from Japan, "the objective of this study was to measure relationships between plasma zinc (Zn) concentrations and Zn kinetic parameters and to measure relationships of Zn status with taste acuity, food frequency, and hair Zn in humans. The subjects were 33 premenopausal women not taking oral contraceptives and dietary supplements containing iron and Zn. Main outcomes were plasma Zn concentrations, Zn kinetic parameters based on the three-compartment mammillary model using Zn-67 as a tracer, electrical taste detection thresholds, and food frequencies."
"Lower plasma Zn was significantly (p
"The break points in the plasma Zn-Zn kinetics relationship were found between 9.94 and 11.5 micromol/l plasma Zn. Smaller size of the lesser peripheral pool was associated with lower frequency of beef consumption and higher frequency of bran breakfast cereal consumption. Hypozincemic women with plasma Zn
"Our results based on Zn kinetics support the conventional cutoff value of plasma Zn (10.7 micromol/l or 700 ng/ml) between normal and low Zn status," researchers concluded.
