Research on the Mineral Copper
The following articles are presented as a reflection on the use of ionic
minerals copper as a dietary supplement and nutritional supplement. You will find more on copper here. You can also purchase this diet
supplement below.
HEART DISEASE (RELATED)
Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy (USA), 1996, 10/5 (567-571)
Oxidation of low density lipoprotein is involved in the pathogenesis of
atherosclerosis. Epidemiological studies suggest a negative correlation between the
occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and blood concentrations of lipophilic antioxidants
such as vitamins A and E and beta-carotene. Trace elements, such enzymes as glutathione
peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. The aim of this study was to determine the
antioxidant and trace element status of patients with severe hypercholesterolemia who had
been treated with dextran-sulphate low-density lipoprotein apheresis in comparison with
two control populations, normocholesterolemic subjects and untreated hypercholesterolemic
patients. Our results showed that, patients treated with LDL apheresis, compared with
normocholesteromic subjects, were not deficient in vitamin E, beta-carotene, and copper, but had low plasma levels of selenium, zinc, and vitamin A.
The low selenium and vitamin A levels were due to the LDL apheresis treatment, and the
hypercholesterolemia might have provoked the low plasma levels of zinc.This study pointed
out the potential benefits of supplemental selenium, zinc, and vitamin A in patients being
treated with LDL apheresis.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
GAZZ.SANIT. (MILANO) (ITALY), 1973, 22/1 (37-39)
The incidence of multiple sclerosis among predisposed subjects is higher
in cold climates, and is compounded where trace metals, such as copper,
selenium and cobalt, are lacking in the diet. The importance of trace elements in various
metabolic processes is discussed, including the etiology of multiple sclerosis. Screening
children, removing those at risk to warmer climates and further research into trace metal
physiology are recommended.
