Copper in urine

One of the microelements involved in processes such as the synthesis of hemoglobin heme, regulation of catecholamine and melanin metabolism. It also contributes to increasing the activity of insulin and more complete utilization of carbohydrates in the body. It participates in the formation of the structure of collagen and elastin proteins - components of connective tissue, which is part of almost all organs of the human body. Copper is part of cytochrome oxidase - one of the enzymes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that ensures energy generation processes in the cell. It plays an important role in the body's antioxidant system, being part of the structure of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase and the antioxidant blood plasma protein - ceruloplasmin, which is a carrier of this metal. In large quantities, copper can have a toxic effect on the body, with predominant damage to the liver and gastrointestinal tract, and development of renal failure.
