GlossaryCopper Metabolism

processes body's handling of essential trace mineral copper

Copper metabolism refers to the processes by which the body absorbs, distributes, utilizes, and excretes copper, an essential trace mineral. Copper is vital for various bodily functions, including the formation of red blood cells, the maintenance of nerve cells, and the immune system. Disruptions in copper metabolism can lead to disorders such as Wilson's disease, where copper accumulates in tissues, or Menkes disease, where copper deficiency occurs.
