Abstract

In this chapter, we review what we know about the availability of copper in foodstuffs, its intestinal absorption, transport to cells and tissues, uptake by and distribution within cells, and its metabolism, release, and excretion from the body. The emphasis is on the adult human being. More detailed information may be found in books edited by Linder (1,2), Sarkar (3), and Leone and Mercer (4), 1996 reviews by Linder (5) and Linder and Hazegh-Azam (6), and more specialized reviews by Harris (7), Pena et al. (8), Linder et al. (9,10), and others (11,12).
