Divalent metals inhibit and lactose stimulates zinc transport across brush border membrane vesicles from piglets
Abstract
Interactions between metals of similar coordination chemistry are of relevance to infant nutrition due to the highly variable metal:metal ratios found in formulas. Using ratios similar to those found in infant formulas, our objectives were to determine the effects of metals and of lactose and other saccharides on Zn(+2) transport across intestinal brush border membranes. Brush border membrane vesicles prepared from intestines of 5 preweaned …
