Copper is an indispensable trace element for life. Four points are fundamental: copper is combined with essential enzymatic systems (oxidases, transaminases), copper is necessary for inclusion of iron in the molecule of hemoglobin, copper has a primordial role in the metabolism of molecule of hemoglobin, copper has a primordial role in the metabolism of collagen and elastin and some vascular diseases (aneurysms) are closely related to its lack, finally, there is an increase of plasmatic copper during cancerous diseases, which is significant even at an early time and usually proportional to the evolution.
铜是生命中不可或缺的微量元素。有四个基本要点:铜与必需的酶系统(氧化酶、转氨酶)相结合;铜对于铁纳入血红蛋白分子是必需的;铜在血红蛋白分子的代谢中起主要作用;铜在胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白的代谢中起主要作用,一些血管疾病(动脉瘤)与其缺乏密切相关;最后,在癌症疾病期间血浆铜会增加,这在早期就很显著,并且通常与病情发展成正比。
