ABSTRACT
Zinc supplementation of children who were just completing a period of rapid "catch-up" growth during recovery from severe malnutrition was found to stimulate sodium transport in their leucocytes. These results suggest that zinc status should be studied in the large number of serious illness now known or thought to be associated with impaired sodium transport.(AU)
