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.
GENERAL COPPER RESEARCH
Petering, H. G., Murphy, L., Stemmer, K. L., Finelli, V. N., & Menden,
E. E. (1986) Biological Trace Element Research, 9, 251+.
Weanling male rats were fed a copper
deficient diet devoid of cholesterol. The effects of varying source of carbohydrate and
supplements of copper and zinc on cardiovascular pathology
and some biochemical and physiological parameters were investigated. It was found that
cardiomyopathy developed in copper deficient groups. Sucrose,
in contrast to starch or starch:lactose (1:1), caused significant exacerbation of this
situation. Increasing dietary Cu to 8 ppm prevented or minimized the development of
cardiomyopathy. Angiopathy occurred only when dietary zinc was at
the lower level (20 ppm). Dietary copper supplements to 8.0
ppm did not alter this situation, but 120 ppm Zn in the drinking water did reduce the
angiopathy almost to the control level, except in the groups in which sucrose was fed.
Serum cholesterol was only elevated significantly over the control value when dietary copper was deficient and sucrose was the carbohydrate source. The
data point to independent action of dietary copper or zinc on
the myocardium or vessels, respectively, with sucrose interacting to make copper and zinc supplements less active than
when starch or starch/lactose was fed.
