Studies on Serum Copper

Studies on Copper Metabolism*

The results of studies on certain enzymes, hemin chromoproteins, and iron and copper in the tissues of normal, copper-deficient, and iron-deficient swine are reported in this paper. It has been suggested that the enzymes cytochrome oxidase (l-3), uricase (4), tyrosinase (5), plasma polyphenol oxidase (coeruloplasmin) (6), glutathione oxidase (7), and butyryl coenzyme A dehydrogenase (8) either ...

Ferrokinetic studies were performed in three copper-deficient swine and the results have been compared with similar studies in 18 normal pigs. The mean value for the plasma iron turnover rate in the deficient swine was 1.76 mg./kg. day; for the red cell iron incorporation rate, 1.24 mg./kg. day; for the red cell iron turnover rate, 1.18 mg./kg. day; for the red cell life span, 13 days.

Relationship between serum copper & ceruloplasmin level and dependence on sample

The correlation between the serum level of copper and ceruloplasmin was determined among sarcheshmeh copper workers and compared with Kerman blood bank diners samples. Serum copper was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and ceruloplasmin was determined by a caloric enzymatic assay. The concentration of serum copper in the test group was 93+_20.4 mg/ DL which was significantly lower...
