From: Zinc treatment ameliorates diarrhea and intestinal inflammation in undernourished rats
Weight curves from experimental Wistar rats A. after challenged by the regional basic northeast diet (RBD) and B. following lactose administration. The RBD was given ad libitum for 14 days and lactose (30 g/Kg, by gavage) was administered after the 8th day of the experiment. Results are expressed in mean ± SEM and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni’s multiple test. Groups: nourished control, undernourished control (UN), undernourished control supplemented with zinc (UN + Zn), undernourished control challenged by lactose (UN + Lac), and lactose-challenged undernourished rats supplemented with zinc (UN + Zn + Lac).
