43 citations , February 1999 in “Biochemical Journal”

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing the SSAT gene under a metallothionein promoter suffered delayed hair loss and were highly sensitive to polyamine analogues, which led to significant liver changes and mortality.

research Effect of Zinc-Deficient Diet on Two Strains of Mice

December 2023 in “Journal of nutritional science and vitaminology”

This study in mice found that a zinc-deficient diet suppressed body weight gain and increased kidney and cecum tissue weight without decreasing serum alkaline phosphatase activity. Additionally, zinc deficiency caused alopecia and intestinal changes in C57BL/6J mice, potentially affecting nutritional status.
