Zn(2+) — no detected effect on plasma citrulline concentration
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.FindingNull result“Median plasma citrulline concentrations did not change from baseline following short-term zinc or placebo supplementation (0.4 (−2.2 – 2.6) µmol/L) and did not differ by supplementation group (P = 0.48); change in plasma citrulline concentration was not correlated with change in plasma zinc concentration (P = 0.11).”
