Copper storage diseases: Menkes, Wilsons, and cancer.
The trace element copper is vital to the healthy functioning of organisms. Copper is used in a multitude of cellular activities including respiration, angiogenesis, and immune responses. Like other metals, copper homeostasis is a tightly regulated process. Copper is transported from dietary intake through the serum and into cells via a variety of transporters. There are a variety of copper chap...
متن کاملPro oxidant and antioxidant status in patients with coronary artery disease proven angiographic ally
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the major cause of death in both industrial and developing countries. Evidences suggest that increase in free radical generation and/or attenuated antioxidant defenses may be involved in the pathogenesis of CAD. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the plasma measures of oxidative stress in patients with coronary artery disease documente...
متن کاملLong-term high copper intake: effects on indexes of copper status, antioxidant status, and immune function in young men.
BACKGROUND Short-term high copper intake does not appear to affect indexes of copper status or functions related to copper status, but the effects of long-term high copper intake are unknown. OBJECTIVE A study was conducted in men to determine the effect of long-term high copper intake on indexes of copper status, oxidant damage, and immune function. DESIGN Nine men were confined to a metab...
متن کاملA comment. Ferrous fumarate deteriorated plasma antioxidant status in patients with Crohn disease.
BACKGROUND Iron deficiency anaemia is a frequent complication of Crohn disease. Treatment with ferrous iron (Fe2-) compounds is often unsatisfactory and is associated with gastrointestinal side effects. Theoretically, oral iron supplementation may even be harmful, because iron may reinforce intestinal inflammation by catalysing production of reactive oxygen species. We investigated the effect o...
متن کاملPlasma and Dietary Antioxidant Status as Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors: A Review of Human Studies
Extensive evidence has demonstrated that many antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids and polyphenols have protective effects in preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD), a chronic disease that is mediated by oxidative stress and inflammation. This review focuses on evidence from prospective cohort studies and clinical trials in regard to the associations between plasma/dietary an...
