Abstract:
:Activity of the immunoregulatory peptide thymulin reflects differences in zinc status. This study compared thymulin activity with four other zinc status measures in rats fed zinc at either 5 or 25 ppm. Rats fed the lower zinc showed the following results compared with rats with adequate zinc intake: serum thymulin activity 61% lower, serum zinc 31% lower, serum extracellular superoxide dismutase 18% lower, serum 5'-nucleotidase activity 26% lower, and liver metallothionein 28% lower. Thus, thymulin activities showed more sensitivity to restricted zinc intake than did four other parameters.
