Decreased RNA polymerase activity in mammalian zinc deficiency
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|July 7, 1972
Abstract:
The activity of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase has been measured in liver nuclei from suckling rats nursed by zinc-deficient dams, or by controls that were either pair-fed or given free access to the diet. In the zinc-deficient pups, the activity of the enzyme did not increase; it fell after the tenth day of life.
