Background Copper and lipid metabolism are intimately linked, sharing a complex, inverse
relationship in the periphery (outside of the central nervous system), which remains to be …

Childhood obesity represents a serious public health burden. Despite excessive dietary
consumption, children with obesity present high rates of micronutrient deficiencies, such as …

Background: Chemical and nonchemical environmental exposures are increasingly
suspected to influence the development of obesity, especially during early life, but studies …

Copper misbalance has been linked to fat accumulation in animals and experimental
systems; however, information about copper homeostasis in human obesity is limited. In this …

The prevalence of obesity has increased at an alarming rate worldwide. Metallic elements
are involved in the pathogenesis of obesity and related diseases. To date, whether …

Background To date, only a few studies on child obesity concerned Trace Elements (TE). TE
is involved in the pathogenesis of obesity and obesity related diseases. We tried to assess …

The relationship between serum copper (Cu) level and overweight/obesity remains
controversial. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the relationship. A …

Copper is an essential micronutrient for humans. A cross-sectional and comparative study
was done to assess serum Cu levels and serum copper/zinc (Cu/Zn) ratio and its association …

Copper (Cu) has emerged as an important modifier of body lipid metabolism. However, how
Cu contributes to the physiology of fat cells remains largely unknown. We found that …

High-performance ion chromatography and inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry
methods have been applied to estimate the content of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Ni in …
