The effect of Zn supplementation on the Cu status of healthy adult men, as assessed by the activities of the Cu-metalloenzymes, plasma ferroxidase (ceruloplasmin), and erythrocyte Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase, were determined. The subjects were given either 2 daily doses of 25 mg Zn or placebo for 6 wk. No significant differences in the plasma Cu levels or the ferroxidase activities between the supplemented and control groups could be detected at 2, 4 or 6 wk. Plasma Zn increased and erythrocyte Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase decreased in the supplemented group, the difference between the groups becoming significant at 6 wk (P < 0.05). This suggested that the Zn supplements decreased the Cu status of the experimental group.
