Effects of EED on Zn Absorption and Retention in Children From a Standard Dose — ZEED1  

Vitamin A Deficiency Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effects of Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED) on Zinc (Zn) Absorption and Retention in Young Children: Study 1 - Absorption of Zn and Vitamin A From a Standard Dose

Clinical Trial Summary

The overall objective is to determine the impact of EED on zinc absorption and homeostasis, and its impact on the absorptive capacity of vitamin A absorption of young children (18-24 months of age) in an austere setting with high rates of diarrhea, stunting, and micro-nutrient deficiencies.

Clinical Trial Description

Participating children are screened for EED using the lactulose:mannitol ratio test and assigned to one of two groups: +EED or -EED. All participants will be given standard, physiological dose of 3 mg zinc sulfate with a zinc stable isotope tracer on study day 8.

On study day 11, 0.5 mg of 13C10-retinyl-acetate will be administered orally to all participants.

Spot urine samples will be collected twice daily from study days 11-14. Complete fecal collections will be obtained for days 11-14. Duplicate diets of all foods consumed will be collected on days 11-14. On study day 14, a blood sample will be taken for analysis of vitamin A isotope status. ;
