[HTML][HTML] Zinc deficiency in mice alters myelopoiesis and hematopoiesis

LE King, PJ Fraker - The Journal of nutrition, 2002 - Elsevier
Suboptimal nutriture causes leukopenia, but whether this is related to a modification in
hematopoiesis is unknown. A 34-d period of zinc deficiency was used to obtain moderate
and severely zinc-deficient (ZD) young adult mice whose bone marrow was evaluated for
alterations in hematopoiesis, myelopoiesis and lymphopoiesis by flow cytometry.
Expressions of CD31 (PECAM-1) and Ly-6C were used to identify changes in marrow
population composition. Identity of marrow cells was confirmed with TER119, CD45R, Ly-6G …
