Copper in infant nutrition: Safety of World Health Organization provisional guideline value for copper content of drinking water
(1998)
Background: Copper is an essential nutrient for humans. Recently, a limit of 31.48 μmol/l (2 mg/l) was proposed by the World Health Organization as the provisional guideline value for copper content of drinking water. The ...
Enhancement of copper toxicity in cultures of Dictyosphaerium pulchellum (Chlorophyceae) by mucilage removal
(Schweizerbart Science Publishers, 2005-04)
Extracellular mucilage from cells of Dictyosphaerium pulchellum Wood 1872 was removed by controlled ultrasonication. Batches of exponentially growing cells, with and without mucilaginous capsules, were incubated during 48 ...
Limits of metabolic tolerance to copper and biological basis for present recommendations and regulations
(American Society for Nutrition, 1996)
Acute copper toxicity is infrequent in humans. The evidence for chronic toxicity is derived principally from patients with Wilson disease and cases of infantile cirrhosis that were related to excessive copper intakes. The ...
Importance of the chemical form and type of substrate for copper toxicity in noticastrum sericeum (less.) Less. Ex phil.
(SOC BIOLGIA CHILE, 2002)
The increase of copper concentration in soils due to human activities may result in plant toxicity, particularly in sensitive species. However, it has been postulated that some edaphic factors may determine the bioavailable ...
Iron and Copper Toxicity in Rat Liver: A Kinetic and Holistic Overview
(Openventio Publishers, 2017-12)
Iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) overloads in rats showed a dose and time dependent metal accumulationin liver with its associated toxicity. The increased contents of the transition metals markedly enhanced the endogenous ...
