TI  - Ultrasound evaluation of fetuses of zinc-deprived monkeys (Macaca mulatta).
PG  - 734-40
AB  - Fetal body movements were studied in three groups of gravid rhesus macaques fed 
      different amounts of dietary zinc (100 micrograms Zn/g diet, control, n = 12; 4 
      micrograms Zn/g diet, marginal deprivation, n = 7; 2 micrograms Zn/g diet, 
      moderate deprivation, n = 11). Sonographic examinations were conducted during the 
      third trimester in awake chair-restrained dams. Movement categories, derived from 
      the human biophysical profile, were motor activity (trunk and limb movements), 
      startle, and breathing movements. Moderately deprived fetuses were more active 
      than controls on gestational day (GD) 115; maternal plasma zinc concentrations 
      were significantly correlated with fetal activity at this time. In addition 
      moderately deprived fetuses exhibited fewer breathing episodes on GDs 115-135. 
      Biometrics measures indicated growth retardation in one moderately deprived 
      fetus. These data suggest that moderate, but not marginal, dietary zinc 
      deprivation influences fetal status as evaluated by sonography.
