Journal ArticleDOI
Copper absorption and retention in young men at three levels of dietary copper by use of the stable isotope 65Cu.
TL;DR: The study demonstrated that Cu absorption is strongly dependent on dietary Cu level and that Cu balance can be achieved by most young men from a diet of 0.8 mg Cu/d, and suggested that current dietary Cu recommendations may be higher than necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper absorption, excretion, and retention by young men consuming low dietary copper determined by using the stable isotope 65Cu
TL;DR: The results suggest that endogenous copper excretion is a major point of regulation of the body's copper stores, and Regulation of absorption and of endogenous excretion in response to dietary copper intake helps to protect against deficiency and toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper status of young men consuming a low-copper diet

TL;DR: The results suggest that these indexes of copper status are sensitive to copper depletion; that 0.38 mg Cu/d is not sufficient to maintain copper status in normal, healthy young men; and that the minimum dietary copper requirement is between 0.4 and 0.8 mg/d.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molybdenum absorption, excretion, and retention studied with stable isotopes in young men during depletion and repletion.
TL;DR: The minimum dietary molybdenum requirement of healthy young men is estimated to be approximately 25 micrograms/d or possibly less, which suggests that the lower end of the recommended range could be less than the current recommended amount of 75 microgramS/d.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isotope ratios of molybdenum determined by thermal ionization mass spectrometry for stable isotope studies of molybdenum metabolism in humans.
TL;DR: Methods were developed to separate and purify Mo from biological samples and to measure isotopic ratios in 1 microgram of Mo, using a triple-isotope-dilution approach, so the method could be applied to two-tracer studies of Mo metabolism in human subjects.
