Abstract

The importance of copper in animal nutrition was first demonstrated by feeding a diet (milk) low in copper (1). Copper deficiency also developed in human infants fed diets similar to those employed for inducing copper deficiency states in experimental animals (2,3,4). Although the importance of adequate copper content of animal diets has long been recognized, only recently has the importance of adequate dietary copper for humans received renewed interest. Indeed, the recommendation of a “safe and adequate” daily dietary intake of 2–3 mg by the Food and Nutrition Board of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 1980 (5) has resulted in increased attention to methods for assessing copper status in both animals and humans.
