Copper functions in many enzyme systems, such as lysyl oxidase, ceruloplasmin, cytochrome oxidase, tyrosinase, and Superoxide dismutase. |
Rand ordered a test for ceruloplasmin, the missing protein that causes Wilson disease. |
Increased oxidized low density lipoprotein associated with high ceruloplasmin activity in patients with active acromegaly. |
Erythrocyte copper levels are very stable, whereas plasma levels fluctuate widely in association with the synthesis and release of ceruloplasmin. |
The combination of decreased binding to ceruloplasmin and disrupted excretion results in the accumulation of copper in the liver, which damages liver cells. |
Study the activity of catalase, copper, ceruloplasmin and other biochemical features in first trimester Iraqi pregnant women. |
