Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitor Attenuates Intestinal Damage Induced by Zinc Deficiency in Rats

A nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, NG-nitro-L -arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), was given to zinc-deficient (ZD) rats to determine whether it prevents the intestinal damage usually observed under these conditions.
