A heavy metal trace element with the atomic symbol Cu, atomic number 29, and atomic weight 63.55.
A rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the deposition of copper in the BRAIN; LIVER; CORNEA; and other organs. It is caused by defects in the ATP7B gene encoding copper-transporting ATPase 2 (EC 3.6.3.4), also known as the Wilson disease protein. The overload of copper inevitably leads to progressive liver and neurological dysfunction such as LIVER CIRRHOSIS; TREMOR; ATAXIA and intellectual deterioration. Hepatic dysfunction may precede neurologic dysfunction by several years.

The inhibition of myeloperoxidase by ceruloplasmin can be reversed by anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies. (1/796)

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to characterize the recently reported inhibition of myeloperoxidase (MPO) by ceruloplasmin and to determine whether this may be disturbed in the presence of anti-MPO antibodies. METHODS: Specificity of the binding between ceruloplasmin and MPO was confirmed by Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the enzymatic activity of MPO was measured in the presence of ceruloplasmin, affinity-purified anti-MPO antibodies, or both. The affinity of the binding between MPO and ceruloplasmin and MPO and the anti-MPO antibodies was measured using a biosensor, with the results confirmed by chaotrope ELISA. RESULTS: Affinity-purified anti-MPO antibodies from patients with microscopic polyangiitis and florid renal vasculitis inhibited the binding between ceruloplasmin and MPO to a maximum of 72.9 +/- 12.8%, whereas those from patients with Wegener's granulomatosis and only minimal renal involvement inhibited the binding to a maximum of only 36.8 +/- 10.9% (P < 0. 001), with comparable reversal of the ceruloplasmin-mediated inhibition of MPO activity. Measurement of the affinity of the interactions demonstrated that binding between MPO and the anti-MPO antibodies is stronger than that between MPO and ceruloplasmin (1.61 x 107 to 1.33 x 108 vs. 7.46 x 106 m-1), indicating that binding to the autoantibody would be favored in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms a role for ceruloplasmin as a physiological inhibitor of MPO, and demonstrates how the inhibition may be disrupted in the presence of anti-MPO antibodies. Because a majority (16 of 21) of the antibodies did not themselves inhibit MPO activity, their interference with the inhibition mediated by ceruloplasmin may be brought about by steric hindrance consequent upon the binding of the antibody to a dominant epitope at or near the active site.  (+info)

Ferroxidase activity of ferritin: effects of pH, buffer and Fe(II) and Fe(III) concentrations on Fe(II) autoxidation and ferroxidation. (2/796)

It is widely accepted that iron deposition in the iron storage protein ferritin in vitro involves Fe(II) oxidation, and that ferritin facilitates this oxidation at a ferroxidase site on the protein. However, these views have recently been questioned, with the protein ferroxidase activity instead being attributed to autoxidation from the buffer alone. Ligand exchange between another protein with ferroxidase activity and ferritin has been proposed as an alternative mechanism for iron incorporation into ferritin. In the present work, a pH stat apparatus is used to eliminate the influence of buffers on iron(II) oxidation. Here we show that the recent experiments questioning the ferroxidase activity of ferritin were flawed by inadequate pH control, that buffers actually retard rather than facilitate iron(II) oxidation, and that horse spleen ferritin has ferroxidase activity when measured under proper experimental conditions. Furthermore, high pH (7.0), a high Fe(II) concentration and the presence of Fe(III) all favour Fe(II) autoxidation in the presence or absence of ferritin.  (+info)

Copper metabolism in retinitis pigmentosa. (3/796)

Clinically and electrophysiologically confirmed cases of primary retinitis pigmentosa have been investigated regarding their copper metabolic state. It is observed that these patients show a normal or near normal serum copper concentration, very low plasma caeruloplasmin concentration, and a very high copper urinary excretion. A similarity between this condition and hepatolenticular degeneration is drawn and it is suggested that retinitis pigmentosa may also be a condition caused by an inborn error of copper metabolism.  (+info)

Caeruloplasmin isoforms in Wilson's disease in neonates. (4/796)

AIM: To investigate the neonatal diagnosis of Wilson's disease from caeruloplasmin isoforms in cord blood. METHODS: Serum caeruloplasmin isoforms were measured in 5-10 ml cord blood from 10 fresh umbilical cords using sodium dodecyl polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE) and western blotting and analysed by densitometry. Total caeruloplasmin concentrations were determined by nephelometry and caeruloplasmin oxidase by p-nitrophenyldiamine. RESULTS: Although total caeruloplasmin concentrations are reduced in neonates, the plasma isoform was significantly reduced or absent in patients with Wilson's disease. Sera from healthy neonates and from those with Wilson's disease had reduced biliary isoforms. CONCLUSION: Identification of caeruloplasmin isoforms may be a marker for Wilson's disease in neonates.  (+info)

The reactions of copper proteins with nitric oxide. (5/796)

Nitric oxide (NO) can act as a ligand for copper atoms and may also engage in redox chemistry with the metal once bound. Furthermore NO posses an unpaired electron which can couple with the unpaired electron on Cu2+. These properties have been exploited to probe the active sites of copper-containing enzymes and proteins. We review these studies. In addition to the use as a spectroscopic probe for the active site we draw attention to the rapid reactions of NO at the copper sites in Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) and laccase. These reactions in CcO occur in the ms time range, at low NO concentrations and in the presence of oxygen and may therefore be of physiological relevance to the control of respiration. Finally we speculate on the wider role that NO may play in regulation of an important group of Type 2 copper containing enzymes.  (+info)

Abnormality in urinary protein excretion in Japanese men with impaired glucose tolerance. (6/796)

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) for more than 2 years have any abnormality in the kidney. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We measured urinary excretion rate and clearance of various plasma proteins with different molecular radii and different isoelectric points in 22 Japanese men with IGT (IGT group) and 37 age-matched healthy control subjects (control group). RESULTS: Clearance of ceruloplasmin (molecular radius approximately 45 A; isoelectric point 4.4), IgG4 (molecular radius 55 A; isoelectric point 5.4), and IgG (molecular radius 55 A; isoelectric point 7.4) was significantly higher in the IGT group than in the control group, whereas there were no significant differences in urinary excretion rate of albumin (molecular radius 36 A; isoelectric points 4.8-5.2) and clearance of alpha 2-macroglobulin (molecular radius 88 A; isoelectric point 5.4) between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, we found that clearance of neutral-charged IgG, negatively charged IgG4, and ceruloplasmin with molecular radii of approximately 45-55 A was selectively increased in IGT subjects. This finding does not seem to be explained by impairment of charge and pore-size selectivity in the glomerulus. Therefore, considering the present result together with our recent finding that enhanced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after acute protein loading in healthy subjects induced a selective increase in clearance of IgG, IgG4, and ceruloplasmin, we suggest that increased intraglomerular hydraulic pressure, although enhanced GFR was not demonstrated, may be at work in these mildly hyperglycemic subjects.  (+info)

Hepatic hyperplasia and cancer in rats: alterations in copper metabolism. (7/796)

We previously demonstrated that rats exposed to the peroxisome proliferator (PP) diethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) had reduced serum ceruloplasmin (CP) oxidase activity, which suggests tissue copper deposition. Copper is highly toxic in excess, and results in cellular damage and hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC). This study addresses changes in expression of copper-related genes and metal accumulation in hyperplastic liver and tumors induced by PP. Male rats were fed diets containing DEHP or clofibrate (CLF) for 3-60 days (hyperplasia) and 4-chloro-6-(2,3 xylidino)-2-pyrimidinyl-thio(N-beta-hydroxyethyl) acetamide for 10 months (HCC). During hyperplasia, an immediate and progressive decrease in serum CP activity was observed (P < 0.05), as were reductions in mRNA levels for both CP and Wilson's disease gene (WD gene, a P-type ATPase) (P < 0.05). Tumor-bearing rats had lower serum CP activity (P < 0.05), and CP and WD gene mRNA levels were reduced in tumors (P < 0.05), and in liver surrounding tumors (SL) (P < 0.05). Metallothionein mRNA showed no consistent changes during hyperplasia. Tumors showed a 2.5-fold induction of metallothionein mRNA (P < 0.05), and a 1.2-fold increase in SL. Temporal increases in liver copper content occurred during hyperplasia, with increases of 2-fold (DEHP) and 3.3-fold (CLF) at 60 days (P < 0.05). Copper content was 2.2-fold higher in tumors (P < 0.05) and 1.7-fold higher in SL; iron did not increase and zinc decreased temporally. Thus, copper accumulation and changes in copper-related gene expression may be contributing factors in liver neoplasia in PP-treated rats. Loss of CP results in decreased free radical scavenger capacity and thus may enhance oxidative damage induced by PPs.  (+info)

Hemolytic activity of copper sulfate as influenced by epinephrine and chelating thiols. (8/796)

AIM: To study the effects of epinephrine, homocysteine, and other complexing agents on the cytotoxicity of copper sulfate. METHODS: In vitro suspensions of human red cells incubated with cupric sulfate were used, and hemolysis was determined by extracellular hemoglobin. RESULTS: The hemolytic activity of CuSO4 (0.3 mmol.L-1) was enhanced by the presence of epinephrine and to a lesser extent by homocysteine, whereas D-penicillamine, succimer, and mercaptodextran reduced the copper-induced hemolysis. The latter 3 chelating thiols also reduced the copper-epinephrine-induced hemolysis. The plasma protein ceruloplasmin reduced markedly the copper-epinephrine-induced hemolysis, even upon concentrations < 20% of that of copper. Chromic chloride, as well, acted anti-hemolytically. CONCLUSION: The latter protectors may interact with the production or activity of toxic oxygen, while classical copper chelators sequester cupric ions from interaction with epinephrine or homocysteine.  (+info)

Using a ceruloplasmin cDNA clone in RNA blot analysis, a single 3.7 kb ceruloplasmin-specific transcript was detected in rat mammary gland tissue from pregnant and lactating animals. Ceruloplasmin gene expression in the mammary gland was tissue-specific, with no evidence of expression in brain, heart or other extrahepatic tissues. Ceruloplasmin mRNA was also detected in mammary gland tissue from male, virgin female and non-pregnant/multiparous animals, and the abundance of ceruloplasmin-specific transcripts in virgin female rats was independent of their stage of oestrus. In virgin female mammary gland the content of ceruloplasmin mRNA was 20% of that in hepatic tissue from these animals and approx. 2-3-fold greater than that found in mammary gland tissue of pregnant or lactating animals. Development studies revealed ceruloplasmin gene expression in male and female mammary gland by only 2 weeks of age, prior to the onset of puberty. Biosynthetic studies indicated that the ceruloplasmin mRNA in ...
Ceruloplasmin (or caeruloplasmin) is a ferroxidase enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CP gene. Ceruloplasmin is the major copper-carrying protein in the blood, and in addition plays a role in iron metabolism. It was first described in 1948. Another protein, hephaestin, is noted for its homology to ceruloplasmin, and also participates in iron and probably copper metabolism. Ceruloplasmin is an enzyme (EC 1.16.3.1) synthesized in the liver containing 6 atoms of copper in its structure. Ceruloplasmin carries more than 95% of the total copper in healthy human plasma. The rest is accounted for by macroglobulins. Ceruloplasmin exhibits a copper-dependent oxidase activity, which is associated with possible oxidation of Fe2+ (ferrous iron) into Fe3+ (ferric iron), therefore assisting in its transport in the plasma in association with transferrin, which can carry iron only in the ferric state. The molecular weight of human ceruloplasmin is reported to be 151kDa. A cis-regulatory element called the ...
Structure of Ceruloplasmin. CP is involved in oxidative stress and in the safe handling of oxygen in some metabolic pathways of vertebrates and has been shown to be associated with reproduction. Serum levels of ceruloplasmin have been found to increase during normal pregnancy in some species and it is thought that this increase during gestation protects against oxidative stress associated with pregnancy. In dogs, the increase in serum ceruloplasmin has been coupled to the time of embryonic endometrial implantation and placentation. In 2011, Erin Willis from the Memphis Zoo published evidence that Cp activity could be correlated to pregnancy status in giant pandas1. The activity of urinary ceruloplasmin was higher during the pregnant luteal phase compared to the pseudopregnant luteal phase. In all term pregnancies examined, levels of active ceruloplasmin were elevated the first week of pregnancy and remained elevated until 20-24 days prior to parturition.. Decreased concentrations occur during ...
Injection of a 2.0 mg Cd ²⁺ /kg B.W. (I.P. as CdC1 ₂ in .05 M NaAc, pH = 6.9-7.2, .15 M or p = .15 with NaCl) resulted in a decrease in ceruloplasmin (EC 1.12.3) p-phenylenediamine oxidase activity within one hour of injection. Maximal decrease (40%) occurred within six to eight hours, with levels rising slowly over the duration of the experiment (28.5 hours postinjection). Cadmium-109 (36 pCi carrier free ¹⁰⁹ CdC1 ₂ in .05 M HC1, .15 M NaC1) was injected (I.P.) into rats and plasma obtained five hours later. Purification of the ceruloplasmin using DEAE and Sephadex G-200 chromatography revealed significant cadmium-109 in the ceruloplasmin fraction. In vitro binding was not observed. Attempts were made to purify ceruloplasmin utilizing, DEAE, hydroxylapatite and Sephadex G-200 chromatography coupled with ethanol-chloroform precipitation. The product obtained was spectrophotometrically pure and deemed electrophoretically homogeneous, however antibody produced in rabbits to this ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Copper-related blood indexes in kidney dialysis patients. AU - Emenaker, Nancy J.. AU - DiSilvestro, Robert A.. AU - Nahman, N. Stanley. AU - Percival, Susan. PY - 1996/11. Y1 - 1996/11. N2 - Previous work has suggested that kidney hemodialysis patients could be at risk for either moderate copper deficiency or copper toxicity. The present study examined copper-related blood indexes in subjects undergoing hemodialysis treatments with membranes that are not copper-based, in subjects undergoing chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), and in control subjects. Both dialysis groups had low plasma copper and ceruloplasmin activities. This occurred despite high plasma interleukin 6 concentrations, a situation that usually elevates plasma ceruloplasmin and copper values. CAPD and hemodialysis subjects had low ratios of ceruloplasmin activity to immunoreactive protein, and low ratios of plasma copper to ceruloplasmin protein. Both are signs of copper deficiency. In contrast, ...
1. It has been suggested that low levels of serum caeruloplasmin in Wilsons disease result from the failure to switch from a fetal to an adult mode of caeruloplasmin gene expression. To investigate postnatal expression of the caeruloplasmin gene, steady-state levels of caeruloplasmin messenger RNA in adult and neonatal rat liver were measured.. 2. Copper parameters observed in neonatal rats were similar to those seen in Wilsons disease: hepatic copper concentration was significantly elevated (neonatal 164 ± 35 μg/g, adults 50 ± 8 μg/g, P , .001) and serum copper and caeruloplasmin levels were low (neonatal 0.5 ± 0.1 μg/ml, adults 1.3 ± 0.2 μg/ml, P , .001; neonatal 0.20 ± 0.04 arbitrary units, adults 0.69 ± 0.16 arbitrary units, P , .001), respectively.. 3. Caeruloplasmin messenger RNA levels were analysed by Northern and dot blotting using a 12P-labelled caeruloplasmin complementary DNA probe. A caeruloplasmin messenger RNA of approximately 4.4 kilobases was detected in both adult ...

ST.LOUIS- The discovery of a gene associated with a rare form of Parkinsons disease provides researchers with a long sought piece to the puzzling pathogenesis of this disease.. A team of researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have characterized a rare disease, aceruloplasminemia, that causes a rare form of Parkinsons. Aceruloplasminemia is caused by a mutation in the ceruloplasmin gene, which is involved in iron transport.. Patients with this gene mutation do not make ceruloplasmin, a protein that removes iron from cells. The iron then accumulates in cells in the brains basal ganglia region and causes neurological problems. These include the tremors and gait abnormalities associated with Parkinsons disease, according to Jonathan D. Gitlin, M.D., associate professor of pediatrics, Washington University School of Medicine.. Neurologists have long hypothesized that Parkinsons disease results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The current ...
Methods and Results-Cp was measured at ARIC visit 4 (1996-1998). We studied 9240 individuals without HF or CVD at ARIC visit 4 and followed them for a mean of 10.5 years. Genome-wide association study was performed to identify genetic determinants of Cp levels and evaluate their association with incident HF in ARIC participants. Cp levels (mean±SD) were higher in women versus men (335±79 versus 258±44 mg/L; P,0.0001), women on versus not on hormone-replacement therapy (398±89 versus 291±60 mg/L; P,0.0001), and African Americans versus whites (299±63 versus 293±74 mg/L; P=0.0005). After adjusting for traditional risk factors, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, higher levels of Cp were associated with HF (hazard ratio, 1.44; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-1.83) and mortality (hazard ratio, 1.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-1.63). A locus on the ceruloplasmin gene on chromosome 3 was significantly ...

Elevated iron levels are considered to play a role in the neurodegenerative mechanisms that underlie Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease. The linkage between hepcidin (Hepc) and ferroportin-1 (FPN1), the divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1), and ceruloplasmin (CP) in the brain is unknown. To discern the role of Hepc in regulating the expression of these proteins, we investigated FPN1, DMT1, and CP protein and mRNA expression in the brain after the intracerebroventricular injection of Hepc. Our results show that after Hepc injection, expression of FPN1 mRNA and FPN1 protein was inhibited in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Furthermore, we showed a clear change of DMT1 and CP protein and mRNA levels in the brain. The immunohistochemical analysis revealed an increase of DMT1 and a decrease of CP levels. Semi-quantitative analysis using PCR methods showed an increase of DMT1(+IRE) mRNA, and a decrease of DMT1(-IRE) mRNA and CP mRNA levels. Since alterations in iron levels in the brain are ...

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible blindness, yet its pathogenesis is poorly understood. Evidence suggests that cumulative oxidative damage contributes to AMD and aging in general. The Dunaief lab has found that AMD retinas have iron overload, which can cause oxidative stress. Increased understanding of retinal iron homeostasis may lead to treatments for AMD. To investigate the mechanisms of retinal iron regulation, the lab uses conditional knockout mouse models, human retinal tissue, and retinal cell tissue culture. A mouse line deficient in the iron transporting ferroxidases ceruloplasmin and hephaestin develops age-dependent retinal iron overload and retinal degeneration with features of AMD (Hahn et al., PNAS, 2004). Recent research in the lab indicates that inflammation promotes cellular iron overload in a vicious cycle leading to cell death. Our current focus is on the mechanisms of retinal iron homeostasis and development of therapeutics to ...

An Interview with William J. Walsh, PhD This is the sixth article in a series of seven articles.. View Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5.. JH: What kinds of testing do you recommend for patients?. WW: If patients had every blood and urine test that would provide valuable information, they probably wouldnt have any money left - or any blood - so we have to prioritize. Because six or seven factors are dominant in most cases, we start off with a panel of tests that is relatively inexpensive, maybe only $300 or $400. We have to do additional testing in only about ten percent of the cases. We look for markers of oxidative stress and at the important metals, espe-cially zinc and copper, that impact neurotransmitters. We measure the protein called ceruloplasmin because looking at serum copper and ceruloplasmin jointly reveals a lot about free radicals and oxidative stress. We need to have a marker for methylation, and what we have been using is whole blood histamine. Its imperfect, and ...

Thirteen healthy adult males, ages 20-40, consuming self selected diets, were given instructions to take one 500 mg tablet of ascorbic acid three times a day with their meals for a period of ten weeks. The effect of this daily supplementation on copper status was investigated. An estimation made from a three day diet record kept by each subject indicated their dietary copper intake to be 1.92 mg per day. Determination of serum ceruloplasmin and serum copper done on the first day of the ascorbic acid supplementation period showed that the subjects fell within accepted ranges of normal. All further determinations of these parameters during the experimental period were compared to initial values so that each subject served as his own control. At week seven the high ascorbic acid intake significantly decreased ceruloplasmin by 26 percent. At the end of the ten week ascorbic acid supplementation period, serum ceruloplasmin activity was significantly lowered by 20 percent. The slight increase over ...
Aceruloplasminemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder in which iron gradually accumulates in the retina, basal ganglia, and other organs. Iron accumulation in the brain results in neurological problems that generally appear in adulthood and worsen over time. Aceruloplasminemia has been seen worldwide, but its overall prevalence is unknown. Studies in Japan have estimated that approximately 1 in 2 million adults in this population are affected. Aceruloplasminemia belongs to the group of genetic disorders called neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). Patients with aceruloplasminemia develop a variety of movement problems. They may experience dystonia of the head and neck, resulting in repetitive movements and contortions. Other involuntary movements may also occur, such as tremors, chorea, blepharospasms, and grimacing. Affected individuals may also experience ataxia, the lack of coordination of muscle movements. Some develop psychiatric problems and midlife dementia. The type ...
Periodontitis, is an infectious ailment of multifactorial origin, that brings about destruction of bone and surrounding tissues. There are various oral pathogens that may be responsible for the destruction. The host encounters these microbial invasions and their products by the production and release of inflammatory mediators from the cells within the body. Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) are a group of enzymes that utilize glutathione in conditions resulting in oxidative stress. These enzymes play a key role in the detoxifycation of such substance. It aids in preventing damage to important cellular components caused by release of free reactive oxygen species. Ceruloplasmin is a ferroxidase enzyme. It plays a role as an anti-inflammatory agent, by its ability to scavenge free radicals within the body. The present study was targeted at evaluating the levels of Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) and Ceruloplasmin as diagnostic markers for patients with chronic periodontitis in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)

In this report, we present novel evidence linking FLP to high-affinity Fe transport and propose that FLP is a ferroxidase, functioning in the reoxidation of Fe2+ before its uptake into the cell. Initial evidence in support of this hypothesis comes from the deduced FLP amino acid sequence. FLP contains two multicopper oxidase I and one multicopper oxidase signature II motifs. In addition, the amino acid sequence of FLP shows the highest homology to multicopper oxidases in mammals (HEPH and ceruloplasmin) and yeast (FET3). These proteins are ferroxidases that are themselves involved in high-affinity Fe assimilation (Stearman et al., 1996;Askwith and Kaplan, 1998; Mukhopadhyay et al., 1998; Attieh et al., 1999; Vulpe et al., 1999). The involvement of FLP in Fe homeostasis is evident from the regulation of its synthesis. Both the transcription of the FLP gene and synthesis of FLP are greatly increased in Fe-deficient cells and reversed after resupply of Fe. Although we have not demonstrated the ...
Ferritins are ubiquitous and can be found in practically all organisms that utilize Fe. They are composed of 24 subunits forming a hollow sphere with an inner cavity of ~80 A in diameter. The main function of ferritin is to oxidize the cytotoxic Fe(2+) ions and store the oxidized Fe in the inner cavity. It has been established that the initial step of rapid oxidation of Fe(2+) (ferroxidation) by H-type ferritins, found in vertebrates, occurs at a diiron binding center, termed the ferroxidase center. In bacterial ferritins, however, X-ray crystallographic evidence and amino acid sequence analysis revealed a trinuclear Fe binding center comprising a binuclear Fe binding center (sites A and B), homologous to the ferroxidase center of H-type ferritin, and an adjacent mononuclear Fe binding site (site C). In an effort to obtain further evidence supporting the presence of a trinuclear Fe binding center in bacterial ferritins and to gain information on the states of the iron bound to the trinuclear ...
Methods and Results- Five ISPs (fibrinogen, orosomucoid, {alpha}1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and ceruloplasmin) were measured in 6075 healthy men, mean age 46.8±3.7 years. After a mean time of 19 years, 63 men had a fatal or surgically/endovascularly repaired AAA. Risk of treatment or death from future AAA was studied in relation to the ISPs. The risk of future AAA increased significantly with the number of elevated ISPs (ie, in the top quartile). The proportions with future AAA were 0.4%, 1.0%, 1.3%, and 2.3% for men with none, one, two, and ,=3 ISPs, respectively, in the top quartile (trend: P,0.0001). The corresponding odds ratios were 1.00 (reference), 1.9 (95% CI: 0.8 to 4.5), 2.2 (0.9 to 5.5), and 3.2 (1.4 to 7.2), respectively, adjusted for age, screening year, smoking, cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure and physical inactivity (trend: P=0.004 ...
Levels of serum copper in 34 patients with adult non-Hodgkins lymphoma at different phases of the disease have been studied. All of the patients were evaluated with complete blood counts, sedimentation rate, gallium scintigraphy, liver and bone marrow biopsies, lymph node biopsy, and laparoscopy. The level of serum copper was significantly elevated in non-responding or relapsing patients (mean 191.06 micrograms/dl), and correlated with the estimated tumor burden. Serum copper levels within normal range were found in patients in complete remission (mean 114.76 micrograms/dl). Age- and sex-matched normal controls also showed serum copper levels within normal range (mean 112.81 micrograms/dl). It is proposed that serial measurements of serum copper level may be of use in: (1) monitoring the remission status of patients with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, (2) detecting early relapse of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and (3) contrary to previous reports by Hrgovcic et al., the level of serum copper seems to be ...
CuD subjects In order to be enrolled into the CuD Arm, subjects who have had RYGB surgery will be recruited and screened for eligibility (inclusion and exclusion criteria below). Subjects whose plasma copper concentrations are in the deficient range (less than 80 μg/dL for women and less than 70 µg/dL for men, and/or ceruloplasmin activity below 62 units/L-1) following 4 weeks of supplementation with the RDA for copper will be eligible. Such supplementation is the routine standard of care with all patients undergoing RYGB surgery. This process aims to exclude patients who were only marginally copper deficient and not in need of sustained copper therapy. Subjects will be notified about their copper status by a study physician. They will be contacted by the study team, and their willingness to participate in the study will be determined.. Inclusion criteria: 1) Patient has a history of RYGB weight loss surgery; 2) subject has a plasma copper level which is less than 80 μg/dL for women andl less ...

The relation between elevated ISPs and an increased incidence of acute coronary events is now well established. Whether the fatality of the events is related to the previous exposure to a low-grade inflammation has been unclear. In the entire cohort, the relative risks were higher for CHD deaths than for nonfatal MI. Among men who subsequently had acute coronary events, the number of elevated ISPs at baseline showed significant associations with the proportions of fatal outcomes (first day or within 28 days). The individual ISPs showed nonsignificant differences between CHD deaths and nonfatal MI. However, in accordance with many previous studies, the prognostic information increased substantially if all 5 ISPs were used.2,11,12,15 The results show that men who have been exposed to a low-grade inflammation many years earlier have higher fatality in future acute coronary events, with a higher proportion of CHD deaths and less nonfatal MI. If this finding can be replicated in other ...

In this report, we have determined serum transferrin (TF) and ceruloplasmin (CP) in patients with liver and renal diseases. Results indicate that TF in all hepatitis groups are significantly lower than that in the nor- mal group. The TF level in patients with abnormal GPT and positive HBsAg are significantly lower than that in normal persons. Therefore, the TF level may be referred to as an index for the hepatitis prognosis. The TF level in nephropathy patients are also lower than that in normal persons. Contents of CP in each group are not similar, for example in patients with hepatic carcinous (52.44±8.73mg%) are significantly higher than that in the normal group (46.75±7.92mg%), but there is no significant difference between hepatic B and normal group. Contents of CP in hepatolenticular degeneration are significantly lower than that in normal group (P 0.001). Therefore, measurement of CP which provides an available objective index is helpful to distingulsh the hepatocirrhosis
LifeLabs is introducing new assay methods for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) tests, and for ASOT (antistreptolysin O antibodies / titer), ceruloplasmin and haptoglobin testing. For some tests this means a change in the assay platform. A major benefit from these changes is the standardization of the assay methods and reporting across all LifeLabs laboratory sites.. Overall, there will be no significant change to reported results. However we have taken this opportunity to update some of the therapeutic ranges, in accordance with current guidelines, and where appropriate, to update analyte reference intervals.. The change will take place on December 11, 2017. At that time, a message will appear on the affected lab reports indicating the details of the change for each test. Please refer to the lab report for analyte specific messages,therapeutic ranges, orreference intervals.. The following tests are affected:. ...
Copper and Human Health To say Copper is an essential trace mineral barely does justice when one considers the wide range of vital human bodily functions dependent upon this mighty mineral. To begin with, copper is a major component of hemoglobin, the protein resposible for oxygen transport in blood cells. Copper, along with vitimin C, forms elastin, a protein required to keep skin, blood vessels, and lungs supple and elastic. As an antioxidant, copper plays a strong dual role. First as a central component of both the superoxide dismutase molecule, which protects us from cellular free-radical damage. Secondly, copper helps form the protein ceruloplasmin, which protects us against free-radical damage caused by iron. Copper is also required by the central nervous system as a component in the production of noradrenaline, the brains version of adrenaline and the neurotransmitter that keeps us alert. Copper is also involved in the production of prostaglandins, hormonelike chemicals that regulate ...

Around this time of year, a lot of us are relying heavily on vitamin C and zinc supplements to mediate the effects of a bad cold or flu which can be bacterial or viral in nature. Natural systems in the body, such as the iron withholding defense system (IWDS), are activated to protect us from these pathogens when they invade. Where the IWDS withholds iron, other metals such as copper and zinc and the transport proteins transferrin and ceruloplasmin are present to maintain iron balance.. Copper and zinc - when behaving properly - are boosters of our immune system, powerful antioxidants, and defend us against the overproduction of free radicals generated by too much iron. Transferrin and ceruloplasmin share in the task of keeping us healthy by binding and transporting iron and copper. Transferrin, when too heavily saturated with iron, makes us more susceptible to infection. When too low, ceruloplasmin allows iron and copper to accumulate, resulting in a free radical production bonanza.. Even though ...
In episode 33, we continue the series on assessing and managing nutritional status. This time we talk about copper. Copper deficiency can cause anemia that is very difficult to tell apart from iron-deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, histamine intolerance, high cholesterol, and a variety of mental effects resulting from neurotransmitter imbalances. Serum copper and ceruloplasmin are excellent tools for assessing nutritional status, but are confounded by inflammation, birth control, menopausal status, and hormone replacement therapy, making it necessary to look at the diet, lifestyle, digestive problems, and other factors that make copper deficiency plausible.  I discuss how to protect yourself from the small risk of copper in your drinking water, and why I think many claims about excess copper outside the context of frank toxicity are misleading. Everything converges on the practical questions of what to do in these situations. You can find the show notes to this episode at chrismasterjohnphd.com/33.

Copper is an essential micronutrient for most organisms, especially in respiring eukaryotes, due to its being a cofactor in electron transfer proteins and in enzymes that catalyze redox reactions or oxygen chemistry, such as cytochrome oxidase, ferroxidases, and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutases. The availability of copper in the environment or in the nutrient source may vary widely, however, and copper deficiency is a challenge that many organisms encounter, a challenge they have met through the evolution of sophisticated adaptive mechanisms. At the same time, free copper ions have the potential to participate in Fenton chemistry resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species. Copper assimilation must therefore be tightly regulated so as to meet but not exceed cellular requirements (reviewed in Eide, 1998; Puig and Thiele, 2002; Winge, 2002; Merchant et al., 2006; Pilon et al., 2006),. Genetic and biochemical studies in a number of model organisms have established the existence in eukaryotes ...
Copper is an essential trace element. It is required for ferro-oxidase activity which is an essential stage for incorporation of iron into haem. Copper is absorbed in the intestines and then transported to the liver, where it is stored or used in the production of a variety of enzymes. Caeruloplasmin is a copper-containing enzyme that plays a role in the bodys iron metabolism. In the blood, 95 % is bound to caeruloplasmin and 5 % is free. It is used in conjunction with serum copper assay to help diagnose Wilsons disease and evaluate copper metabolism.. ...
Normally food copper is metabolized by the liver and channeled into safe pathways such as being incorporated in to ceruloplasmin. [...] When we administer inorganic copper orally labeled with 64Cu, we see a fraction of the label appear in the blood in 1-2 hours, too soon to be processed by the liver. [...] We believe this fraction of 64Cu-labeled inorganic copper is bypassing the liver, is therefore not incorporated safely into ceruloplasmin, contributes directly to the nonceruloplasmin free copper pool, and represents what is happening to at least a portion of the inorganic copper ingested in drinking water or copper supplements.[32] ...
We found an age-related increase of iron in the white matter of controls as well as in patients with short disease duration. In chronic MS, however, there was a significant decrease of iron in the normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) corresponding with disease duration, when corrected for age. This decrease of iron in oligodendrocytes and myelin was associated with an upregulation of iron-exporting ferroxidases. In active MS lesions, iron was apparently released from dying oligodendrocytes, resulting in extracellular accumulation of iron and uptake into microglia and macrophages. Iron-containing microglia showed signs of cell degeneration. At lesion edges and within centers of lesions, iron accumulated in astrocytes and axons ...
