Abbreviation: AKP, alkaline phosphatase.

TPEN = D-Zn (Zinc deficiency, treated with 2 µmol/L zinc Chelator TPEN), Control = Zn (Adequate Zinc, basal medium), Zinc = H-Zn (High level of Zn, supplemented with 20 µmol/L Zn), TPEN + LPS = D-Zn + 20 µg/mL LPS, LPS = A-Zn + 20 µg/mL LPS, Zinc + LPS = H-Zn + 20 µg/mL LPS.
