Rat muscle 5''-AMP aminohydrolase (EC 3.5.4.6), adenylosuccinate synthetase (EC 6.3.4.4) and adenylosuccinate lyase (EC 4.3.2.2) activities were elevated 50-60% in Zn-deficient weanling rats when compared with restricted-fed Zn supplemental control rats. The activities of these enzymes were increased by 50-100% when Zn-deficient rats were compared with ad lib fed controls. There was no significant difference in total muscle protein or total muscle Zn among the 3 groups of animals. This increased activity of the purine nucleotide cycle may be responsible for the recently observed increase in blood ammonia in Zn-deficient rats when compared to controls.
