Serum ceruloplasmin in manganese-treated rats

Toxicology Letters, 1981
Rats were exposed to manganese (Mn) (6 mg/kg) daily for 30 days. The content of ceruloplasmin decreased significantly by 19.5% while copper (Cu) content was reduced by 27.8% in the serum of Mn-treated animals. These alterations were associated with a marked increase in the Cu content of liver and brain.

Serum ceruloplasmin as a diagnostic marker of cancer

Cancer Letters, 1997
The pursuit of the ideal tumor marker has generated many tests for use in the diagnosis and management of cancer, several of which are now widely available. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility as a cancer marker of plasmatic levels of ceruloplasmin. Ceruloplasmin is a glucoprotein that transports serum copper.

Hormonal induction of ceruloplasmin in chicken serum

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1965
Abstract 1. 1. Investigations were conducted on the seum copper and ceruloplasmin levels in sheep, pigs and chickens. Ceruplasmin activity in pig sera was 100 I.U., in sheep sera 18 I.U. and in chick sera less than 1 I.U. 2. 2. Ceruplasmin activity in chick sera was elevated approximately sixfold when chicks were infected with S.

Inherited Variants in Serum Ceruloplasmins of the Pig

Nature, 1964
BY means of chromatography and electrophoresis on starch gel, Morell and Scheinberg1 showed at least four different molecular components of ceruloplasmin in preparations from the plasma of 9,109 human donors. Then McAlister et al.2 presented evidence for multiple ceruloplasmin components in human sera.

Determination of ceruloplasmin in human serum by SEC-ICPMS

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2006
This paper describes an analytical method for the determination of ceruloplasmin (Cp) in human serum. The method uses immunoaffinity chromatography and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) to "purify" the serum sample prior to analysis of 63Cu and 65Cu by inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS).

Serum ferritin and ceruloplasmin as coronary risk factors

European Heart Journal, 1994
Iron and copper catalyze lipid peroxidation in vitro, and recent epidemiological data suggest that these metal ions might also be involved in human coronary heart disease. We tested the hypothesis by investigating whether the storage proteins ferritin and ceruloplasmin were coronary risk factors.

Value of an enzymatic assay for the determination of serum ceruloplasmin

Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 2004
The serum concentration of the copper protein ceruloplasmin has been an important diagnostic indicator of Wilson's disease (WD). It is widely quoted that 95% of people with WD have low serum ceruloplasmin concentrations. Current evidence suggests that a normal serum ceruloplasmin concentration is more common in patients with WD, particularly those with

Serum Ceruloplasmin Polymorphism in Cattle

1970
Ceruloplasmin enzyme has been found in blood sera of most animals investigated (Seal, 1964), it shows considerable variability in its oxidase activity according to the individual animal species.

Serum and plasma ceruloplasmin in humans.

Journal of clinical chemistry and clinical biochemistry. Zeitschrift fur klinische Chemie und klinische Biochemie, 1989
In a group of 76 clinically healthy human volunteers, we found a high correlation (r = 0.997, p less than 0.001) between the ceruloplasmin oxidase activities in serum (mean 127.2 U/l) and plasma (mean 124.0 U/l). Similarly high correlation was observed for immunoreactive ceruloplasmin, which was assayed in 65 samples (r = 0.993, p less than 0.001 ...

Serum ceruloplasmin in melanoma patients.

Anticancer research, 2001
We have studied the serum ceruloplasmin levels as a possible diagnostic factor or marker for detection, diagnosis and follow-up of patients with melanoma. Ceruloplasmin concentration was determined in 64 melanoma patients (MP) and in 37 healthy persons (HP) by nephelometry. We found a mean value of 29.85 +/- 5.47 mg/dl in MP and 26.10 +/- 5.22 mg/dl in
