Copper deficiency in lucerne (Medicago sativa. L.)
In the course of these studies more questions have been posed than answered. It is clear that Lucerne production is being limited by low Cu levels in some areas. The relationships between yield and plant composition were rather different from those predicted from other studies; it is considered …

Mechanisms of Copper Deficiency in the Zebrafish Embryo
… when faced with suboptimal nutrient levels. Copper is an essential nutrient required for critical biochemical processes. Severe defects in copper homeostasis lead to significant disease typified by the X-linked recessive disorder Menkes disease. Patients with Menkes disease have cutis laxa, …

Diagnosis, epidemiology and immunologic consequences of copper deficiency in calves
Copper is an essential micronutrient. Copper deficiency has been associated with disease states that decrease commercial beef production. Clinical manifestations of copper disease include anemia, diarrhea, long bone fractures, generalized ill-thrift, and decreased fertility. Recent studies have …

Analyzing genetic response mechanisms associated with copper homeostasis in Populus trichocarpa using a bioinformatics approach
Copper is an essential micronutrient for plants and plays an important role in photosynthesis, respiration, hormone signaling, cell wall structure and wound healing. Copper deficiency can cause chlorosis, leaf curling, and weakened stems. It is proposed that under copper deficient conditions plants …

Copper status in multiple trauma patients: measurement of copper balance, serum copper and ceruloplasmin
Changes in copper metabolism have been reported in both thermal injury and skeletal trauma; data regarding copper status in multiple trauma patients (MTP) are nonexistent. Hypercatabolism following multiple trauma may increase copper utilization, deplete copper stores and compromise cuproenzyme …

Mechanisms of Copper-Dependent Notochord Formation in Zebrafish
… development profoundly impacts fetal outcome. Copper is an essential nutrient required for the redox activity of many enzymes, and recent work in our laboratory has elucidated the phenotype of copper deficiency in zebrafish, which includes a strikingly distorted notochord. The studies described …

Why do allelic variants of the mitochondrial chaperone SCO1 cause clinically heterogeneous forms of disease? A mouse model and proximity ligation study
… (COX) assembly and the regulation of cellular copper homeostasis. While SCO1 mutations result in clinically heterogenous forms of disease with fatal, neonatal outcomes, it remains unclear why allelic variants unique to each SCO1 pedigree primarily affect heart, liver or brain function. I …

Molybdenum toxicity in the developing chick embryo
… was confounded by the possible existence of a copper deficiency, some evidence was obtained for the involvement of molybdenum in the copper metabolism of the chicks. It was surprising that no increase in the blood and liver molybdenum concentrations was observed when the diets containing either …

Metal contamination and methane oxidising bacteria around a formerly industrialised suburban river.
… isolated organism produces a sMMO when there is copper deficiency in the media which is another distinguishing characteristic to potentially apply the organism in bioremediation of hydrophobic organic compounds, because sMMO generally has a wider substrate range than pMMO. The proteins encoded by …
