Changes of serum zinc level in dogs receiving either a zinc-free solution or a zinc-supplement solution during total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and the influence of variety of serum-zinc level on serum albumin and collagen-hydroxyproline (C-Hyp) in the incised intestine were investigated. The serum zinc level of zinc-free dogs that was 126.0 ± 34.3 micrograms per deciliter at the initiation of TPN decreased significantly to 80.0 ± 15.0 micrograms per deciliter during the one week of TPN, whereas that of zinc-supplement dogs did not decrease during the same period of TPN. Lowering of the serum albumin value was more evident in zinc-free dogs than in zinc-supplement dogs. The amount of C-Hyp in the incised area of the intestine of zinc-free dogs was 2.63 ± 0.66 micrograms per milligram and that of zinc-supplement dogs was 4.26 ± 1.04 micrograms per milligram and this difference was significant. It was found that serum zinc level during TPN sharply reflects a supplement of zinc, and C-Hyp in the incised gut and serum albumin of zinc-free dogs are lower than those of zinc-supplement dogs.
