Analysis of Zinc Transporters in C. elegans
Zinc is a trace element essential for organisms, and organisms have homeostatic mechanisms to control zinc metabolism. Zinc metabolism is mediated by numerous proteins including zinc transporters, zinc-responsive transcription factors and zinc-binding proteins. Of these proteins, zinc transporters, …

Influence of genetic obesity on essential trace metal status and metabolism
… of sex of the animal. Various characteristics of zinc metabolism in lean(+/?) and obese male mice at 10 weeks of age were also investigated. ⁶⁵Zn absorption was significantly higher in obese mice than in lean controls. This difference between phenotypes was not due to differential isotope dilution …
