Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary zinc levels during gestation on physical development of offspring. The statistical population consisted of adult male and female rats (Albino-Wistar) which were obtained from Pasteur Institute, Iran. After mating, 9 pregnant female rats were divided into 3 groups: 1) Zinc deficient group (0.05<ZN<1.5 ppm); 2) Control group (Zn=40 ppm); 3) ZINC SUPPLEMENT group (Zn=50 ppm). A special diet was imposed on the mother during the last three months of her pregnancy. After delivery, 14 offspring were selected by random sampling in each group and some of their anthropometric indexes (height and weight) and brain growth (brain weight, head width and head length) were measured. The statistical analysis were t-test and one-way ANOVA (P<0.05). Post hoc analysis was made by Tukey test. The results showed a significant decrease in some anthropometric parameters (body weight, crown-rump length, tail length) and brain growth (head length) in zinc deficient group as compared to the control group (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in head width and brain weight between zinc deficient and control groups (P>0.05). There was a significant decrease in crown-rump length in ZINC SUPPLEMENT as compared to control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in brain growth (P>0.05). These findings suggest that ZINC DEFICIENCY during the last three months of pregnancy impairs brain and physical growth of offspring and to impose enhanced ZINC SUPPLEMENT during the last three months of pregnancy has negative effects on physical development.
