Copper bioavailability and requirements.
TLDR
Comparison of the copper requirements with the levels of copper present in some contemporary diets suggests that marginal copper nutriture may not be rare, and the 2 to 3 mg daily intake of dietary copper suggested by the National Research Council seems appropriate.About:

Zinc: health effects and research priorities for the 1990s.
TL;DR: This review critically summarizes the literature on the spectrum of health effects of zinc status, ranging from symptoms of zinc deficiency to excess exposure, with special attention to interactions with iron and copper status.

Zinc in Human Biology
TL;DR: The Biological Significance of Zinc for Man: Problems and Prospects and putative Therapeutic Roles for Zinc are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper Deficiency in Humans
TL;DR: The features seen in Menkes' syndrome suggest that human beings may be rather susceptible to the vascular and neurological effects of copper deficiency; these effects may be encountered as a consequence of prolonged mild copper deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Copper, Molybdenum, Selenium, and Zinc in Nutrition and Health
TL;DR: A combination of observation, medical and dietary history, and analyses for multiple trace elements is needed to pinpoint the trace element(s) involved, and it is important to differentiate whether trace element deficiency or toxicity is the primary cause of the disorder, or is secondary to other underlying diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risks and benefits of copper in light of new insights of copper homeostasis.
TL;DR: Evidence obtained in humans and non-human primates presented here suggest that current copper UL should be re evaluated and developing the scientific basis for a copper UL and evaluating the relevance of copper deficiency globally are future key challenges for copper researchers.

Trace Elements in Human and Animal Nutrition
TL;DR: This book discusses the history of zinc, its application in agriculture, and its applications in the management of soil-Plant-Animal relations.

Phytic acid interactions in food systems
TL;DR: Development of methods for producing low-phytate food products must take into account the nature and extent of the interactions between phytic acid and other food components, such as pH-solubility profiles of the proteins and the cookability of the seeds.

MENKES'S KINKY HAIR SYNDROME: An Inherited Defect in Copper Absorption With Widespread Effects
TL;DR: Seven new cases of Menkes9s kinky hair syndrome are described from five families and low levels of serum copper and ceruloplasmin were found in all patients studied and a defect in the intestinal absorption of copper has been demonstrated, suggesting copper deficiency provides an adequate explanation of all the features of the disease.

Iron in nutrition vii. copper as a supplement to iron for hemoglobin building in the rat
TL;DR: The essentiality of copper for hemopoiesis in an animal was demonstrated by Elvehjem's group at the University of Wisconsin this article, who showed that copper deficiency in malnourished infants is a sign of deficiency.

Menkes' kinky-hair syndrome.
TL;DR: Gross changes in free sulphydryl groups in hair keratin probably explain the kinky hair, and treatment of Menkes' syndrome may become possible as a result of these findings.
