Lipid peroxidation in mitochondria and microsomes from adult and fetal rat tissues
Pregnant female Wistar rats that received a control (100 ppm Zn) or a Zn-deficient diet (1.5 ppm Zn) from d 0 to 21, or nonpregnant normally fed female rats without or with five daily oral doses of 300 mg/kg s...

Induction of hepatic metallothionein by salicylate in adult rats
Application of salicylate increased the concentration of metallothionein (MT) in liver of pregnant rats as well as of adult male rats, whereas in fetal liver, MT was reduced by salicylate. Induction of MT synt...

Maternal and fetal iron accumulation in Zn-deficient and salicylate-treated rats
Nonhemoglobin Fe (non Hb−Fe) content in fetal serum and liver is much higher than in maternal serum and liver. After feeding a Zn-deficient diet to pregnant rats from d 0 to 21, non Hb−Fe content in maternal a...

Effects of salicylate and zinc deficiency on the serum concentrations of magnesium, calcium, and parathyroid hormone
Oral application of 700 mg/kg salicylic acid to pregnant and nonpregnant female rats caused an increase of serum Mg2+ and a decrease of serum Ca2+ concentration. The salicylate effect was drastically enhanced by ...

Enhanced ototoxicity of gentamicin and salicylate caused by Mg deficiency and Zn deficiency
In rats, Mg deficiency caused a moderate hearing loss, measured by means of evoked potentials at 10 and 20 kHz, which was repaired after refeeding a normal diet.

Effect of valproate on zinc metabolism in fetal and maternal rats fed normal and zinc-deficient diets
Pregnant Wistar rats fed control and Zn-deficient diets received daily oral doses of 0, 100, and 300 mg/kg sodium valproate from d 16 to 20 of gestation. Only the highest valproate doses induced a small reduct...

Development of fetal mineral and trace element metabolism in rats with normal as well as magnesium- and zinc-deficient diets
At d 17 of gestation, the concentrations of K, Mg, Mn, and Zn in fetal rat serum, measured by flame photometry and atomic absorption spectrophotometry, were higher than in maternal serum and declined thereafte...

Effect of salicylate on zinc metabolism in fetal and maternal rats fed normal and zinc-deficient diets
Pregnant rats fed normal and Zn-deficient diets were treated with oral daily doses of 100 and 300 mg/kg salicylic acid from d 16–20 of gestation. This treatment caused a dose-dependent reduction in fetal body ...
