The relationship between leucocyte and muscle zinc in health and disease

R B Jones et al. Clin Sci (Lond). 1981 Feb.

Abstract

1. A significant correlation between leucocyte and muscle zinc contents was observed in control patients and in patients with generalized diseases. 2. As muscle contains a large proportion of the whole-body zinc, it is suggested that leucocyte zinc content may be a useful indicator of tissue zinc status.
