Administration of the Oral Antibiotic Frenolicin-B Selectively Alters Copper Nutriture in Male Rats
The polyketide antibiotic Frenolicin-B (FB) produces anorexia and esophageal epithelial hyperplasia (EH) in rats, findings that are characteristic of zinc deficiency. Because FB also chelates divalent cations in vitro, we conducted studies to determine whether FB modifies blood and organ concentrati...

Zusammenfassung: | The polyketide antibiotic Frenolicin-B (FB) produces anorexia and esophageal epithelial hyperplasia (EH) in rats, findings that are characteristic of zinc deficiency. Because FB also chelates divalent cations in vitro, we conducted studies to determine whether FB modifies blood and organ concentrations of zinc and other essential metals (calcium, copper, iron and magnesium). Groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats (∼250g; n = 20/group) consumed diets with adequate (40 μg/g), deficient ( |
