Notes:
Zinc concentration was measured in four muscles from beef, pork, and lamb: longissimus dorsi (LD), biceps femoris (BF), gluteus medius (GM), and triceps brachi (TB). Within a species, BF, GM, and LD had similar zinc concentrations but TB was significantly (P〈0.01) higher in zinc. The means for the four muscles ranged from 39.8–53.5, 13.9–28.0, and 28.2–36.9 μg Zn/g wet weight for beef, pork, and lamb, respectively. The zinc concentration of muscle may relate to protein synthesis and the predominant type of energy metabolism occurring in the muscle. The mean zinc concentration of the four muscles between species was significantly (P〈 0.01) different.
