Zinc levels in R6/1 and WT mice treated on normal and zinc-deficient diet. Mice were euthanized at 20 weeks of age, and zinc was measured in the regions indicated. Data are mean ± S.E. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. The n and sex of each group are as follows: n[WT control diet] = 16 (8 females); n[WT zinc-deficient diet] = 16 (8 female); n[R6/1 control diet] = 15 (8 females); n[R6/1 zinc-deficient diet] = 16 (9 females)
