Copper Toxicity in Sheep

Respiratory toxicity of copper.

Respiratory toxicity of copper was tested in Wistar rats by spraying copper sulfate (330 g/l spray) for daily periods of 1 hr in a self-contained chamber for up to 10 days. The respiratory toxicity was compared with that from intraperitoneal administration of 1 mg Cu/mg body weight and with adequate control rats. Analysis of tissue Cu and Zn was done in lung, liver, kidney, and plasma by using ...

Copper Toxicity/Chronic Active Hepatitis

The trace mineral Copper (Cu) is incorporated into several enzymes which catalyze important reactions in the body. Cu is mainly stored in the liver, but is also found in the skeletal system (bone marrow) as well as in muscle, brain and spleen tissue. While unavailable dietary Cu is excreted in the feces, via bile, approximately 40-60% of dietary (ingested) Cu is absorbed into the blood by the m...
