Content of zinc in serum, urine, hair, and toenails of New Zealand adults
1979
Extract: The content of zinc in samples of serum, hair, and toenails and in a 24 hour urine from groups of the New Zealand population was investigated. Only external exposure to zinc from an industrial source (galvanizing) or from the use of zinc-based creams increased the zinc concentration in the samples measured, and then only in hair and toenails. It was concluded that the measurement of zinc in serum, urine, hair, and toenails did not provide a sensitive indication of zinc status.
