Figure 3. Zinc absorption and hepatic uptake is reduced in Zip14^−/− mice.

Fasted mice received 2 µCi of ⁶⁵Zn by gavage and were killed 3 hr later. (A) Percent absorption was calculated from the radioactivity administered. (B, C) Serum and liver uptake was calculated from the specific activity of the ⁶⁵Zn. Values are mean ± SE, n = 5−12.
