Rat peritoneal macrophages incubated in a medium with 10% autologous serum showed 50% inhibition of O2 consumption by 0.4 mM Zn only when activated by yeast. Zn ions had no effect on resting macrophages. The inhibitory efficiency of Zn depanded on the ratio of yeast particles to macrophages; with more activated cells, the inhibition was less. The multiple-shaped intact macrophages changed into rounded cells in the presence of 0.1 and 0.5 mM Zn2+ as shown by photomicrography and scanning electron microscopy. When the incubation medium was replaced by Zn-free medium, cells recovered and became irregularly shaped. The reversibility of Zn effect on cell morphology corresponded with uptake and release of Zn by macrophages. The presence of serum in the medium interfered with the magnitude of Zn uptake by macrophages. Besides already reported effects of Zn on mast cells, platelets, and granulocytes, Zn ions apparently also inhibit some functions of macrophages.
