1993

Fraker, P.J. | King, L.E. | Garvy, B.A. | Medina, C.A.

This chapter explores whether or not the zinc deficient rat appears to be a useful model for humans and whether there are common patterns of immune defects observed between the species. Studies are reviewed on the efficacy of zinc supplementation on the immune status of the mildly deficient elderly.
