Evaluation of Human Zinc Absorption From Wheat-based Meals

Study part 1 and 2 Assessment of Zn absorption from regular and biofortified wheat: stable isotope absorption studies in women of childbearing age consuming test meals prepared from either the biofortified Zn wheat, regular wheat or post-harvest fortified wheat at two different extraction rates. Study part 3 Assessment of Zn absorption from intrinsically and extrinsically labeled wheat: stable isotope absorption studies in women of childbearing age, or men, consuming test meals prepared from either intrinsically labeled Zn biofortified wheat, regular wheat or post-harvest fortified wheat extrinsically labeled immediately before consumption.
