Copper as an essential nutrient
(American Society for Nutrition, 1996)
Animal and human studies have shown that copper is involved in the function of several enzymes. Studies have also shown that copper is required for infant growth, host defense mechanisms, bone strength, red and white cell ...
How reliable and robust are current biomarkers for copper status?
(2007)
Cu is an essential nutrient for man, but can be toxic if intakes are too high. In sensitive populations, marginal over- or under-exposure can have detrimental effects. Malnourished children, the elderly, and pregnant or ...
Gene chip analyses reveal differential genetic responses to iron deficiency in rat duodenum and jejunum
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2006)
Biochemical and Morphological Alterations in Hearts of Copper-Deficient Bovines
(Humana Press, 2018-08)
Copper deficiency is an important disease of cattle that produces several clinical signs and lesions, due to alterations in copper-dependent enzymes. One of the organs affected by this deficiency is the heart (falling ...
Phagocytosis and immunoglobulin levels in hypocupremic infants
(1985)
Nineteen hypocupremic marasmic infants 5-14 months of age with a normal wt/1gth ratio, were immunologically evaluated during their rehabilitation. The infants were studied 2-3 months after admission to a Closed Nutritional ...
Association between copper deficiency and DNA damage in cattle
(Oxford University Press, 2004-11)
Cattle hypocuprosis is the second most widespread mineral deficiency affecting grazing cattle. The consequences of hypocuprosis include a failure of copper metalloenzymes, many of which form part of the antioxidant defence ...
Erythrocyte CuZn superoxide dismutase activity is decreased in iron-deficiency anemia
(2006)
Iron and copper are essential microminerals that are intimately related. The present study was performed to determine the effect of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) and treatment with iron on laboratory indicators of copper ...
Assessing chaperone for Zn, Cu-superoxide dismutase as an indicator of copper deficiency in malnourished children
(Elsevier, 2014)
It is not clear how frequent is copper deficiency in humans. Current copper markers are not sensitive
enough to detect early copper deficiency and new markers are needed. CCS is a candidate to become a
copper ...
Copper deficiency in Creole goat kids
(EDP Sciences, 2002-09-25)
Serum copper determination is important to confirm hypocupremia. Twenty healthy kids constituted the Control Group, and sixteen kids with symptoms of copper deficiency, the Problem Group. Animals from the Problem Group ...
