A low zinc intake during gestation in the rat causes a severe disturbance in her ability to deliver her young and to display normal maternal behavior. Recent studies identified some of the physiological alterations which accompany this phenomenon.

Riboflavin‐deficient, male rats were fed (2‐14C) riboflavin to replete the animals prior to collecting 14C‐compounds excreted during a second depletion period. Chromatographic fractionation and microbiological assay before and after acid hydrolysis indicated bound and free metabolites of riboflavin, as well as the vitamin itself.

Concentrations of neurotransmitter amines tend to be lower in brains of rats subjected to intrauterine and postnatal malnutrition. The fall is observed from 15 days after birth and seems to be due to a deficiency of the precursor amino acids. Histamine levels in the synaptosomes and its release into the synaptic cleft following chemical stimulation tend to be higher in the brains of malnourished rats. In vitro, histamine interferes with the release of norepinephrine and 5‐HT by synaptosomes.
