Zinc (Zn) deficiency is shown to condition aversion to the Zn-deficient diet. After development of a Zn deficiency syndrome during which consumption of the deficient diet decreased, rats readily consumed a familiar Zn-normal diet. After Zn repletion, the previously deficient animals continued to avoid the Zn-deficient diet. These results would not be predicted by the competing hypothesis that Zn-deficiency is anorexigenic.
锌（Zn）缺乏会导致对缺锌饮食产生厌恶。在出现缺锌综合征期间，缺锌饮食的摄入量减少，之后大鼠会欣然食用熟悉的正常锌饮食。补锌后，先前缺锌的动物仍会继续避免食用缺锌饮食。锌缺乏会导致食欲不振这一相互竞争的假说无法预测这些结果。
