Background: The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey suggested some Mexican American children are at risk of zinc deficiency.Objective: We measured the effects of zinc and micronutrients or of micronutrients alone on indexes of cell-mediated immunity and antiinflammatory plasma proteins.Design: Subjects ( n = 54) aged 6-7 y were randomly assigned and treated in double-blind fashion in equal numbers with 20 mg Zn (as sulfate) and micronutrients or with micronutrients alone 5 d/wk for 10 wk.Results: Before treatment the mean +/- SD plasma zinc was 14.9 +/- 1.7 mu mol/ dL and the range was within the reference; hair zinc was 1.78 +/- 0.52 mu mol/g and 41.6% were
