Resistant starch (RS) can promote absorption of minerals such as calcium and magnesium from the large intestine. As zinc deficiency in children from the developing world remains a major public health issue, we will use a rodent model to determine if RS can improve zinc absorption in growing rats with preceeding zinc deficiency. In parallel we will also determine whether infants, who are most vulnerable to the effects of zinc deficiency, have the gut bacteria required to utilise the potential and known health benefits of RS.

抗性淀粉（RS）可以促进大肠对钙、镁等矿物质的吸收。由于发展中国家儿童的锌缺乏仍然是一个主要的公共卫生问题，我们将使用啮齿动物模型来确定 RS 是否可以改善先前缺锌的生长中大鼠的锌吸收。与此同时，我们还将确定最容易受到缺锌影响的婴儿是否拥有利用 RS 的潜在和已知健康益处所需的肠道细菌。
