Abstract
The experimental observation indicates an increase and decrease in serum copper and zinc content respectively during pregnancy, and the reverse changes are observed in the serum mineral content 8 weeks post partum. The serum oxidase activity increases during pregnancy and decreases 8 weeks after delivery. These changes observed during this study support the belief that sex hormones affect the total content of copper and zinc in human serum.Keywords
