It is suggested that the wide variation in copper concentration is a result of differences in intake of copper-containing food among the birds. | |
The amino acid-bound fraction of copper is in equilibrium with albumin-bound copper, and both fractions are probably in equilibrium with ionic copper. | |
Since the concentration of copper (ceruloplasmin) in normal human serum is relatively constant and is not influenced by meals or by the ingestion of copper (6-8), it seems unlikely that this protein is concerned in the active transport of copper. | |
97 Citations | Comparison of the copper requirements with the levels of copper present in some contemporary diets suggests that marginal copper nutriture may not be rare. |
This manuscript provides valuable information about effects of high copper levels from two copper sources in shrimp. | |
87 Citations | The results suggest that these indexes 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. |
Also the poor correlation between liver and serum copper concentrations in the three herds sampled demonstrates the importance of using liver copper concentration to assess herd copper status. | |
01 Jan 1981 13 Citations | It is much more difficult, virtually impossible except as a speculation, to estimate the usage throughout the world, but I would venture a suggestion that at least 2 billion pigs received diets supplemented with copper. |
