title: [The influence of ceruloplasmin injections on the Cu- and Fe-metabolism of piglets].
abstract: In two experiments with a total of 56 piglets the influence of intravenous injections of ceruloplasmin (CP) on the 2nd and 4th day of their lives on criteria of the Cu- and Fe-metabolism was investigated. Due to the injections, the CP-activities and the Cu-concentration in the plasma increased, as a rule, more than in the untreated control animals. This effect was more distinct and longer recognisable after the injections on the 2nd day of life. Effects on the Fe-metabolism registered in a increased Fe-concentration in the plasma. Hemoglobin content, number of erythrocytes as well as the activities of blood catalase were in no case influenced by the injections.
