Short-term dietary zinc deficiency effect on diencephalon
Summary:
Analysis of diencephalon from Sprague-Dawley males fed a zinc-deficient diet for 10 days. Zinc is an essential trace element; its imbalance causes deviations in eating behaviors. Results provide insight into the molecular effects of short-term zinc deficiency on the brain.
