Notes:
Administration of ammoniated glycyrrhizin for 14 days in the diets of rats at a 2% level caused a significant increase in iron excretion and a significant depletion in liver iron stores as compared to pair-fed control rats. Zinc and magnesium fecal and tissue levels were not significantly influenced by this dietary saponin. Body and fecal weights were also significantly increased in animals consuming the saponin-containing diet.
