Effects of Dietary Glucose and Fructose on Copper, Iron, and Zinc Metabolism Parameters in Humans [PDF]
Alterations of transition metal levels have been associated with obesity, hepatic steatosis, and metabolic syndrome in humans. Studies in animals indicate an association between dietary sugars and copper metabolism.

Elesclomol: a copper ionophore targeting mitochondrial metabolism for cancer therapy
Elesclomol is an anticancer drug that targets mitochondrial metabolism. In the past, elesclomol was recognized as an inducer of oxidative stress, but now it has also been found to suppress cancer by inducing cuproptosis.

Material implication of Chile’s economic growth: combining material flow accounting (MFA) and structural decomposition analysis [PDF]
Over the last three decades, the economic integration of the Chilean economy into global markets has been taking place at a rapid pace. For example, in 1986, exports represented 29% of GDP while in 1996 they had increased to 38% of GDP.
