Studies on copper metabolism in the cotton rat Sigmondon hispidus texianus

Creator:

Milne, David Bayard

Abstract:

The effects of different levels of copper in the diet on growth rates, blood and liver copper concentrations, hemoglobin levels, and cytochrome c oxidase activities were determined in the cotton rat. The response of the cotton rat to different levels of copper was analagous to that of the common laboratory...

Studies on copper metabolism in the cotton rat Sigmondon
Comparative aspects of copper metabolism as reflected by the composition of animal tissues

Creator:

Idris, Omer Fadle

Abstract:

An extensive review of the literature dealing with the role of copper in nutrition has been made; much emphasis has particularly been placed upon some of the "comparative" aspects of copper metabolism in various species. A study of the comparative copper metabolism of three strains of rats and of golden...

Comparative Aspects of Copper Metabolism as Reflected By
Metabolism of copper in blood and liver as influenced by species and diet

Creator:

Milne, David Bayard

Abstract:

Copper in blood and liver can be divided into several fractions. Copper in blood is about evenly divided between erythrocytes and plasma. Normal concentrations for most species range between one and two parts per million. Plasma copper is mainly a copper protein, ceruloplasmin and a loosely bound form, reacting directly...
