Serum zinc and copper were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Statistical Analysis Used: The categorical and continuous data were compared using the Chi-square, unpaired Student's-test, and analysis of variance, respectively. Results: Serum copper was significantly...
These results indicate that serum copper level, a cheap and simple laboratory test, is of great value in CLL patients as it showed a significant association with some important adverse prognostic markers such as increased expression of ZAP-70 and CD38, shorter time to start treatment and poor ...
When serum copper and iron were estimated in a series of 19 patients with malignant disease uncomplicated by haemorrhage, Cu was found to be significantly higher and Fe significantly lower than in normal patients. Further comparison showed that the one bore a statistically significant inverse relation...
A study was conducted to determine serum copper (Cu) concentrations and hematological values of 174 sheep from four medium sized farms, pertaining to physiological stage, in the late dry and late wet seasons of Central Trinidad. Serum Cu was significantly lower in the dry than in the wet seaso...

(Gibco Life Technologies) to achieve a bacterial inoculum concentration near a target value of 1.0 × 107 colony-forming units (CFU) mL−1. Organic soil load containing 0.25 mL of 5% fetal bovine serum (Gibco Life Technologies) and 0.05 mL Triton X-100 (Amresco Pro Pure...
Cell viability was determined after 24 h incubation with WST-1 test. Experiments were performed twice. Results and Discussion Demetallation of Cu1Cox17 by the de-coppering drugs All de-coppering drugs were able to demetallate Cu1Cox17; however, it occurred at different concentrations with ...
Our results suggest a highly conserved putative copper-binding motif to be necessary for a copper-modulated and thiol-specific function of members from three subfamilies of family 2 ORs.Similar content being viewed by others Two Engineered OBPs with opposite temperature-dependent affinities towards 1-...
154 In addition, elevated levels of serum Cu have been correlated with both tumor stage and disease progression in patients with colorectal, lung, and breast cancer.155,156,157 The role of Cu in carcinogenesis Given that copper acts as a key factor in cellular signaling, it is not surprising...
A non-lethal dose of arsenic, low pH, and high temperature (As + pH + T) stress was significantly elevated (p = 0.0039) the serum cortisol levels followed by arsenic and high temperature (As + T) and arsenic alone group compared to control and dietary copper groups. ...
