Effect of Endotoxin on Serum Zinc Concentrations in the Rat

Robert S Pekarek 1, William R Beisel 1
PMCID: PMC378009  PMID: 5373680

Abstract

Serum zinc concentrations decreased significantly in a dose-dependent response after endotoxin administration in the rat. The reproducibility and sensitivity of the biological response offer a potential bioassay of endotoxin.
