When zinc intake is high what happens to the expression of zinc transport proteins and metallothionein? A)decreased expression of transporters that move zinc from the mucosal cell into the lumen and decreased expression of metallothionein,reducing the amount of zinc that moves from the mucosal cell into the blood B)increased expression of transporters that move zinc from the lumen into the mucosal cells and increased expression of metallothionein,reducing the amount of zinc that moves from the mucosal cell into the blood. C)Decreased expression of transporters that move zinc from the mucosal cell into the lumen and increased expression of metallothionein,increaseing the amount of zinc that moves from the mucosal cell into the blood. D)increased expression of transporters that move zinc from the mucosal cell into the lumen and decreased expression of metallothionein,reducing the amount of zinc that moves from the mucosal cell into the blood.

When zinc intake is high, the expression of zinc transport proteins that move zinc from the mucosal cell into the lumen is decreased, and the expression of metallothionein is also decreased. This reduces the amount of zinc that moves from the mucosal cell into the blood.
