Abstract
Exps. on Chinese subjects indicate that Cu equilibrium is reached when the daily intake of Cu is 2 mgm. Cu is excreted mainly in the feces; urinary excretion is ca. 055 mgm. daily regardless of intake. From figures given for the Cu contents of various human tissues, it is estimated that the total Cu content of the human body (Chinese) is 100-150 mgm.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
