Abstract

THE presence of zinc in living organisms and its essentiality as a nutrient for plants and animals have been recognized for many, ears.1 , 2 Normal persons take in about 10 to 15 mg. of zinc a day, most of it being excreted in the feces, which contain about 10 mg. a day; about 300 or 400 microgm. a day is excreted in the urine.3 Most human organs contain zinc, the amounts in different organs varying between 10 and 200 microgm. per gram of wet tissue.4 The serum zinc concentration has been reported to be decreased in several diseases, notably pernicious anemia. . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
