ABSTRACT. Serial serum zinc concentrations were measured in 31 relatively well, growing premature infants during the first 26 weeks of life. Zinc concentrations declined progressively from 17.9 μmol (1.17 mg/1) at birth (normal adult value) to 8.9 μmol (0.58 mg/1) at 6 weeks of age despite a zinc intake of greater than 13.7 μmol (900 μg)/kg/day after the second week of life. The serum zinc increased after 16 weeks of age to 10.7 μmol/dl (0.7 mg/1). No infant demonstrated clinical signs of zinc deficiency. This data may serve as a reference against which serum zinc concentrations in other premature infants may be compared in order to help define the deficiency state.
