1. A method of estimating whole-body zinc, and Zn balances using a two-compartment model in combination with whole-body counting of 65Zn, is described. The method is applied to patients with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.

2. The results suggested that there was not a wide variation in whole-body Zn and Zn turnover in individuals with these two diseases and no clearcut difference between patients with one or the other.
