Abstract

To study the effect of increased copper levels on erythrocyte lipid peroxidation, we fed a diet containing 2 g Cu/kg diet fed to normal and bile-duct ligated rats. No significant change was observed either in endogenous lipid peroxide content or in stimulated lipid peroxidation in the erythrocytes of rats with increased copper levels compared with the levels in control groups. © 1989, SOCIETY FOR FREE RADICAL RESEARCH JAPAN.
