Pancreatic carboxypeptidases: activities in zinc-deficient rats.
Zinc deficiency in rats caused decrease in the activity of pancreatic carboxypeptidase A, but it had no effect on pancreatic carboxypepti dase B and liver alcohol dehydrogenase. The observed reduction of enzymic activity may be related to the poor utilization of feed that occurs in zincdeficient rats.
