In this study, copper-doxorubicin liposomes with multidose therapy reduced systemic toxicity compared to ammonium sulfate-loaded doxorubicin liposomes, while combinatorial strategies further enhanced tumor regression and accumulation.
research Tyrosinase Inhibition Due to Interaction of Homocysteine with Copper: Mechanism for Reversible Hypopigmentation in Homocystinuria Due to Cystathionine Beta-Synthase Deficiency
This study suggests that reversible hypopigmentation in homocystinuric patients may result from tyrosinase inhibition by homocyst(e)ine, with in-vitro experiments showing copper sulfate reversing this inhibition.
research Analysis of Serum Zinc and Copper Concentrations in Hair Loss
This study observed that patients with various types of hair loss had significantly lower serum zinc levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting zinc disturbance may play a role in the condition.
research The Occurrence and Incorporation of Copper and Zinc in Hair and Their Potential Role as Bioindicators: A Review
This review explores how copper and zinc concentrations in hair may serve as bioindicators and discusses their potential associations with health disorders, but it reports no new clinical findings.
research The Effect of Copper Supplementation on the Brindled Mouse
In this study, brindled mutant mice with clinical features similar to kinky hair syndrome showed marked improvement and prevention of neuronal degeneration after receiving cupric chloride injections, with timing of administration being crucial.
research BMI and Levels of Zinc, Copper in Hair, Serum, and Urine of Turkish Male Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia
This study reported that Turkish males with male pattern androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower zinc and copper levels in their hair compared to healthy controls, suggesting these imbalances may play a role in the condition's etiology.
research Assessment of Copper and Zinc Status in Hair and Urine of Young Women Descendants of NIDDM Parents
This study found that young healthy women with a family history of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus exhibited higher zinc and lower copper concentrations in hair compared to those without such a family history, suggesting a possible Cu-Zn antagonism.
research Amelioration by Copper Supplementation of Mutant Gene Effects in the Crinkled Mouse
This study found that supplementing pregnant and lactating mice with high dietary copper improved survival and physical traits in mice carrying the crinkled mutation, suggesting copper's role in modulating gene expression.
research Effects of Molybdenum and Sulfate Sulfur on Copper Metabolism in Dairy Cattle
This study found that high molybdenum levels in the diet, especially with added sulfate sulfur, led to symptoms like alopecia and hair color loss in heifers; however, these were corrected by adding copper.
research Lead, Cadmium, Copper, Zinc, Iron, and Calcium in Human Hair as a Function of Gender, Age, Smoking, and Hair Dyeing
In this study, higher concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn were found in the hair of smokers and users of hair dyes compared to non-smokers and those with undyed hair.
research Lead, Cadmium, Copper and Zinc Concentrations in Blood and Hair of Mothers of Children with Locomotor System Malformations
This study found that women who delivered children with locomotor system malformations had significantly higher lead concentrations in their blood and hair compared to those who had healthy children.
research Congenital Copper Deficiency: Copper Therapy and Dopamine-Beta-Hydroxylase Activity in the Mottled (Brindled) Mouse
This study found that copper injections increased dopamine-β-hydroxylase activity in the brains of mottled mice, an animal model for Menkes' syndrome.
research Influence of Dietary Copper on Minerals in the Hair of Hereford and Holstein Calves
This study investigated how dietary copper affects hair pigmentation and mineral concentrations in calves, reporting on copper's influence but not providing definitive results.
research Copper and Calcium Uptake in Colored Hair
This study used nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry to locate where calcium and copper are concentrated in colored hair, finding these metals particularly in the cuticle's sulfur-rich regions.
research Copper Modulates Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation to Enhance Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation in Rex Rabbits
In this study, copper was found to promote the proliferation of dermal papilla cells in Rex rabbits by maintaining the function of the cellular mitochondrial electron transport chain.
research Copper in Green Hair: A Quantitative Investigation by Electron Probe X-Ray Microanalysis
This study suggests that elevated copper levels in domestic tapwater, exacerbated by its aggressive properties, likely contribute to green hair by damaging the cuticle and increasing copper uptake.
research Measurement of Zinc, Copper, Manganese, and Iron Concentrations in Hair of Pituitary Dwarfism Patients Using Flameless Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry
This study found that children with pituitary dwarfism had higher zinc and copper hair concentrations and lower manganese concentrations compared to healthy children.
research The Effect of Zinc and Copper Deficiency on Hematological Parameters, Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Levels in Sheep
This study in Basra province sheep reported that zinc and copper deficiencies were linked to various clinical signs and affected oxidative stress and antioxidant levels.
research Determination of Zinc, Copper, Iron, and Manganese Contents in Hair for MPA Patients and Healthy Men
This study found that patients with MPA had significantly lower zinc and manganese levels and higher copper levels in their hair compared to hair-healthy men.
research The Effect of Dietary Copper and Molybdenum on Turkey Poults
This study found that adding molybdenum to poultry diets depressed growth without affecting feather pigmentation, and copper supplementation tended to counteract the growth inhibition.
