Zinc Deficiency Clinical Trial
Official title:
Zinc and the Synthesis of Zinc Binding Proteins (Protocol B)
The specific aim of this protocol is to examine differential expression of specific mRNAs and proteins that occur when the dietary intake of zinc is acutely reduced below the dietary requirement for a period of ten days.
Methods to assess the dietary zinc status of individual humans or populations are lacking.
The study is a three period observational study of biomarkers of zinc status before, during
and after zinc depletion. The entire dietary study will take 24 days composed of three
parts:
- Dietary Acclimation (Phase 1): 7 days
- Dietary Zinc Restriction (Phase 2): 10 days
- Dietary Zinc Repletion (Phase 3): 7 days
The dietary treatments and all blood draws will be carried out in the General Clinical
Research Center (GCRC) at University of Florida. Previous research from has shown that both
metallothionein gene expression and specific zinc transporter genes in blood leukocyte
subsets are directly proportional to dietary zinc intake. By using cDNA array analysis and
quantitative PCR technology with blood RNA, those genes most sensitive to zinc nutrition
will be identified for the purpose of developing zinc status assessment methods on how zinc
functions in human biology.
Additionally, buccal mucosal cells will be collected in the GCRC by using swabs, i.e., in a
noninvasive manner, to further characterize the expression pattern of the genes under study.
This method has the potential for nutrition studies in the field (international nutrition,
etc).
