A rapid microspectrophotometric method was used to measure zinc concentrations in plasma and erythrocytes. A circadian variation in plasma zinc related to the ingestion of food was observed.

Erythrocyte zinc levels did not differ between different groups of subjects and exhibited no circadian rhythm.
