Raised 64Cu-caeruloplasmin and urinary 64Cu excretion; indicators of altered copper status in chronic pancreatitis.
Paul Tasker, FRCS, Harbans Sharma, MSc, PhD, DSc, Joan Braganza, DSc, FRCP. Manchester Royal Infirmary. INTRODUCTION: In the rat, high liver copper in pancreatic insufficiency (PI) reduced with pancreatic extract, and, in duodenal-jejunal loops, rat pancreatic juice (PJ) inhibited 64Cu absorption compared to isotonic saline. The inhibition of 64Cu absorption with rat PJ in the rat closed loop… Continue Reading
