Abstract

Iron and copper are crucial to the metabolism of all eukaryotic cells and are often linked in their functions (17). Both elements are associated with electron transport and in mammals are required for the formation of hemoglobin in erythropoisis. Iron and copper are stored in the liver of the fetus during the first part of gestation for utilization during the first part of life when the diet (milk) contains little of these elements.
