The activities of liver, muscle, and red blood cell enzymes involved in the degradation of purine were assayed in zinc deficient (ZD), pair-fed control (PF) and ad libitum-fed control (Ad lib) rats. Diets (1.5 ppm of zinc in ZD diet and 110 ppm in control diet) were fed to rats for 6 weeks after which they were sacrificed and tissues isolated for several assays. Results indicated a significant ...
