[Effect of copper on iron metabolism in the body of gastrogenic anemia patients].
In 40 patients suffering from gastrogenic anemia subject to study were the iron content in the daily ration, iron excretion with feces, as well as the level of the serumal iron, the whole blood copper, the number of erythrocytes and the blood hemoglobin level both before the treatment and at different stages of the therapy, 6 mg of copper per day included in the diet. The iron was determined after Henry (1958) and copper after L.N. Lapin (1957). The data obtained indicate that following a regular taking of copper there increases the iron retention in the organism of the patients, this phenomenon being attended by a falling concentration of copper in the whole blood and a rising level of the serumal iron, hemoglobin and an increase in the number of erythrocytes in the peripheral blood. These data confirm the fact of physiological synergism between copper and iron in the organism, including that in the organism of patients with gastrogenic anemia.
