The level of copper, zinc and certain free amino acids in the plasma of patients with acute appendicitis
(1985) In Nutrition Research 5(SUPPL. 1).- Abstract
Many forms of inflammatory conditions are associated with alterations in physiology, metabolism and concentrations of trace elements such as copper, magnesium, zinc and calcium and of amino acid patterns and C-Reactive protein levels in plasma (1). Decreased levels of zinc and a reciprocal increase of copper in plasma has been seen in many human diseases (2). Nothing concrete is documented concerning these changes in acute appendicitis. The present study was performed to investigate the possible changes in the levels of trace elements such as copper, zinc, magnesium and calcium and electrophoretic patterns, C-Reactive protein and amino acid patterns in plasma in patients admitted for suspected acute appendicitis. The effect of surgical... (More)

The present study was performed to investigate the possible changes in the levels of trace elements such as copper, zinc, magnesium and calcium and electrophoretic patterns, C-Reactive protein and amino acid patterns in plasma in patients admitted for suspected acute appendicitis. The effect of surgical trauma on copper and zinc levels was also investigated.
