background: to determine the protective impact of efficient serum copper concentration on bmd in women and to asses its impression on bone. methods: six hundred healthy women through a national project in iran, imos, were selected via a cluster random sam pling and enrolled the study. they were divided to pre menopausal (404/600, 67.7% of total) and post menopausal (190/600, 32%of total) groups...

abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of a fetus or embryo from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. missed abortion is the most common dangerous condition in pregnancy. an abortion can occur due to maternal complications, chronic disease, endocrine disorders, abortificient drugs, radiation, heavy metals and toxins. the study population consisted of ...

the copper level in the serum of 1280 and liver of 200 goats raised in the mountain areas of khuzestanprovince, iran were determined. copper, molybdenum and iron content of soil and pastures as well as sulfurcontent of the pastures were seasonally estimated. mean serum copper levels of goats in behbahan,ramhormoz, eizeh and masjed-soleyman districts were 8.14 ± 0.21, 1.98 ± 0.12, 7.74 ± 0.11 an...

effects of ambient copper was investigated on serum stress markers, sodium and enzyme levels in common carp ( cyprinus carpio l.) over a 14-d exposure period. fish were exposed to 0, 25 and 100 μg l -1 copper (as copper sulfate) and blood was sampled at 0, 3, 7 and 14 d after exposure. serum profile was significantly affected by copper concentration, sampling time and their interaction. increas...

In order to measure serum copper concentration, 163 adult males working at different units of copper plant from a total population of 671, were selected by simple random sampling. Eighty three subjects working at melting foundry, 49 in extrugen- rolling and 31 at administrative service untils. Eighty four adult male natives of Kerman and it's suburbs were randomly choosen as control group, seru...

INTRODUCTION Copper is essential micronutrient and has an important role in the human body. The serum copper increases during pregnancy and is doubled at full term. Lower levels of serum copper in pregnancy are connected with some pathological conditions. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to estimate the levels of serum copper in normal and pathological pregnancies, comparing them with valu...

in order to determine the copper status and correlation between the ceruloplasmin and copper of serum and among the copper of serum, liver and kidney of slaughtered goats in shahrekord, blood, liver and kidney samples (10 gr) from 100 goats were gathered. the amounts of ceruloplasmin and copper of serum, liver and kidney were measured by sunderman - nomoto and shimadzu atomic absorption method,...

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...
