Abstract
Gel chromatography indicated that most of the zinc in cow's milk was associated with high-molecular-weight fractions, whereas zinc in human milk was associated with low-molecular-weight fractions. A species difference in zinc-binding ligands may explain why symptoms of the genetic disorder of zinc metabolism, acrodermatitis enteropathica, can be alleviated by feeding human but not cow's milk.Entities:
