Serum Cu and caeruloplasmin levels have been suggested to be independent risk factors for coronary heart disease operating through oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein. Fifty cases of Acute Myocardial Iinfarction and fifty age and sex-matched controls were recruited. Copper and ceruloplasmin levels were estimated in con...
متن کاملSerum copper and caeruloplasmin in ankylosing spondylitis, systemic sclerosis, and morphea.

Mean levels of both were raised significantly in ankylosing spondylitis, with the greatest increases in the worst cases. In patients with systemic sclerosis there was a significant increase in the mean level of caeruloplasmin, but not of copper, although both were ...
