Zinc-deficiency and activities of urea cycle-related enzymes in rats.
In contrast to previous reports, an increase in glutamate dehydrogenase activity and no change in arginase activity were observed in rats fed a zinc-deficient diet for 15 weeks. The discrepancies could be due to a difference in degree and duration of zinc-deficiency.
