Expression of zinc importer (ZIP1) and zinc exporter (ZnT1) in blood leukocytes from adolescent girls from groups A and B, at basal and after 27 day intervention.
| Study Group | Basal | After intervention | p * |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fold change of ZIP1 | |||
| A | 1 | −1.40 | 0.006 |
| B | 1 | −1.44 | 0.078 |
| Fold change of ZnT1 | |||
| A | 1 | 1.75 | 0.55 |
| B | 1 | 1.09 | 0.88 |
Fold change in gene expression of ZIP1 and ZnT1 was normalized with β-actin and calculated as 2−ΔΔCt; 1 = no change in initial sample; * Student paired t test; p = statistical significance.
