Figure 2From: Copper Chaperone for Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase is a sensitive biomarker of mild copper deficiency induced by moderately high intakes of zinc (A) Liver, (B) erythrocyte and (C) WBC CCS content of rats fed diets differing in Zn and Cu. CCS expression in liver is expressed relative to that of β-Actin. CCS expression in erythrocytes and WBCs is expressed relative to that of GAPDH. Bars signify the mean ± SEM, n = 12 (for liver and erythrocytes) or 7 (for WBCs)/diet group. Diet groups without a common letter differ (P < 0.05).Back to article page
