The use of dysprosium to measure endogenous zinc excretion in feces eliminates the necessity of complete fecal collectionsLeland V Miller
University of Colorado Denver, Department of Pediatrics, Aurora, CO 80045, USA
J Nutr 140:1524-8. 2010..We found that the measurement of the sample Dy:Zn ratio was useful for selecting samples for measurement. We conclude that the Dy method of determining EFZ is a valid and less burdensome alternative to current techniques...
Intestinal excretion of endogenous zinc in Guatemalan school childrenK Michael Hambidge

J Nutr 137:1747-9. 2007..Supported by other recent childhood data, these results suggest that the current estimates of EFZ(PR) used in the calculation of Zn requirements for children are misleadingly low...
Zinc bioavailability and homeostasisK Michael Hambidge
Department of Pediatrics, Section of Nutrition, University of Colorado Denver, Denver, CO, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 91:1478S-1483S. 2010..The effects of phytate on intestinal losses of endogenous zinc merit further investigation but are probably not of the same magnitude as its inhibitory effects on absorption of exogenous zinc...
Comparison of complementary feeding strategies to meet zinc requirements of older breastfed infantsNancy F Krebs
Department of Pediatrics, Section of Nutrition, School of Medicine, University of Colorado Denver, Aurora, CO 80045, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 96:30-5. 2012..The low zinc intake from human milk at ∼6 mo of age predicts the dependence on complementary foods (CF) to meet the zinc requirements of older breastfed-only infants...
Dysprosium as a nonabsorbable fecal marker in studies of zinc homeostasisXiao-Yang Sheng
Section of Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO 80262, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 82:1017-23. 2005..95) with those from the fecal monitoring and dual-isotope-tracer ratio methods. CONCLUSION: Administration of dysprosium is a useful means of determining the completeness of fecal collections and of measuring zinc absorption...
Zinc absorption during late pregnancy in rural southern EthiopiaK Michael Hambidge
Section of Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 84:1102-6. 2006..Little is yet known about zinc absorption in late pregnancy, and no information on absorption from the total diet is available...
Dietary reference intakes for zinc may require adjustment for phytate intake based upon model predictionsK Michael Hambidge
Department of Pediatrics, Section of Nutrition, University of Colorado, School of Medicine, Denver, CO 80262, USA
J Nutr 138:2363-6. 2008..4 mg Zn/d. Extrapolation of the model suggested, for example, that with 900 mg/d phytate, 100 mg dietary Zn is required to attain 6.4 mg absorbed Zn/d. Experimental studies with higher Zn intakes are required to test these predictions...
Changes in zinc absorption during developmentK Michael Hambidge
Section of Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO 80262, USA
J Pediatr 149:S64-8. 2006..Normal homeostatic mechanisms in the premature infant prevented efficient absorption of the quantity of Zn required or/and optimal conservation of endogenous Zn...
Absorption of calcium from tortilla meals prepared from low-phytate maizeK Michael Hambidge
Department of Pediatrics, Section of Nutrition, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO 80262, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 82:84-7. 2005..Bioavailability of calcium is, however, compromised by phytate, which is present in large quantities in maize kernels and is only modestly reduced by nixtamalization...
Measurements of zinc absorption: application and interpretation in research designed to improve human zinc nutritureK Michael Hambidge
Section of Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Box C225, 4200 E 9th Av, Denver, Colorado, 80262, USA
Int J Vitam Nutr Res 75:385-93. 2005..They also suggest the potential utility of measurements of the quantity of zinc absorbed when evaluating the zinc status of populations...
Exchangeable zinc pool size at birth is smaller in small-for-gestational-age than in appropriate-for-gestational-age preterm infantsNancy F Krebs
Section of Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver, CO 80262, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 84:1340-3. 2006..Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants are susceptible to postnatal zinc deficiency, but whether this susceptibility is due to intrauterine factors or to high postnatal growth requirements is unknown...
Zinc absorption as a function of the dose of zinc sulfate in aqueous solutionCuong D Tran
Section of Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, The University of Colorado Health Science Center, Denver, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 80:1570-3. 2004..Zinc supplements are used extensively in medicine and research and for public health purposes in the prevention and treatment of zinc deficiency. However, little is known about the efficiency of zinc utilization after different doses...
Physiological requirements for zincK Michael Hambidge
Pediatric Nutrition, University of Colorado Denver, Aurora, CO, USA
Int J Vitam Nutr Res 81:72-8. 2011..The lessons to be learned from this review are discussed together with suggestions for future action by IOM as well as a constructive role for IZiNCG...
Exchangeable zinc pool size in infants is related to key variables of zinc homeostasisNancy F Krebs
Section of Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO 80262, USA
J Nutr 133:1498S-501S. 2003..We conclude that the amount of absorbed zinc is not tightly regulated, and that endogenous fecal zinc is dependent on and responsive to the zinc status of the organism...
A mathematical model of zinc absorption in humans as a function of dietary zinc and phytateLeland V Miller
Section of Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO 80262, USA
J Nutr 137:135-41. 2007..The model was judged to be valid and of immediate value for studying and predicting absorption. A version of the model incorporating a passive absorption mechanism was not supported by the available data...
