Investigation into zinc nutritional status biomarkers by proteomic techniques

Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop a reliable plasma sample preparation method and apply 2-DE proteomic analysis, using plasma from zinc deficient rats, to find novel biomarkers of zinc status. 50 rats were randamly divided into 5 groups and fed for 2 weeks with the semi-synthetic diet containing different Zn content: acute zinc deficiency (
