Quantitutive and functional changes in leucocytes after the ingection of taurine, leucine and zinc sulfate
The course of combined taurine and zinc sulfate administration to white rat pups (body weight 40-50 g) was shown to the distribution size of lymphocytes: reduce the cell fraction with diameters 4-8 micrometers, increase one with diameters >8 micrometers and displays the fraction with diameters 12-14 micrometers simultaneously the lymphocytes of all the size groups expressed the lower ratio RNA/DNA. The additional leucine administration under such conditions reduced the shifts observed.
