  • Title: Zinc binding: a difference between human and bovine milk.
    Author: Eckhert CD, Sloan MV, Duncan JR, Hurley LS.
    Journal: Science; 1977 Feb 25; 195(4280):789-90. PubMed ID: 836589.
    Abstract:
    Gel chromatography indicated that most of the zinc in cow's milk was associated with high-molecular-weight fractions, whereas zinc in human milk was associated with low-molecular-weight fractions. A species difference in zinc-binding ligands may explain why symptoms of the genetic disorder of zinc metabolism, acrodermatitis enteropathica, can be alleviated by feeding human but not cow's milk.
