Effect of Copper and Cu/Zn Ratio in Blood on Blood-fat in Copper Deficiency Rats / 环境与健康杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the relation between copper,copper-zinc ratio in blood and blood-fat only in the copper intake lower than the normal acceptable daily intake,and to provide a unified dosage evidence for copper multi-ways exposure.Methods Forty-two SD rats were divided into 7 groups randomly.The rats in one group among them as the normal control group were fed on the normal fodder and water,the other 6 groups were fed on special fodder without copper and deionized water and i.g.copper gluconate at doses of 0ADI(the acceptable daily intake of rat),1/625ADI(0.000 128 mg/ml),1/125ADI(0.000 64 mg/ml),1/25ADI(0.003 2 mg/ml),1/5ADI(0.016 mg/ml) and ADI(0.8 mg/ml),for 30 days.The activity of ceruloplasmin(CP),the content of copper,zinc in the blood and the level of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein(HDL) and low density-lipoprotein(LDL) were determined.Results In the case of copper intake lower than the normal acceptable daily intake,the activity of CP in the blood of all treated rats were lower than the normal level(P
