“…It is hard to say whether this is due to differences in the composition of the feed or to a higher age of the cows. The average daily intake of Zn is 16.9 mg per person, according to the above mentioned Canadian diet survey (Somers 1974), and this agrees well with what is considered necessary (Schroeder et al 1967). Zn poisoning of humans is rare, but it may occur in connection with food that has been kept in zink containers at a low pH (Tolle et al 1973).…”

A total of 120 normal slaughter cows were analyzed with respect to Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd and Hg in muscle, liver and kidney. The cows orginated from 6 different slaughter-houses throughout the country. Imported cow livers, represented by 10 samples from Australia, 10 from Poland and 15 from Ireland, were also analyzed for comparison with the Finnish material. The Cu content in the Finnish animals turned out to be relatively low. The imported samples had even lower contents. There seemed to be no correlation between the Cu contents in muscle, liver and kidney. Statistical tests established that the mean Cu content in livers from Oulu was significantly higher than most of the others at the 5 % level. The Zn determinations revealed the highest amounts in the muscle. No correlation between the contents in muscle, liver and kidney was shown. The animals from Seinäjoki had the highest Zn contents, significantly different from most of the others. The imported livers did not differ much from the domestic ones as regards Zn content. The same was true for the Pb content. The correlation coefficients of Pb in muscle, liver and kidney were low. The animals from Kouvola contained the highest amounts of Pb, and the mean Pb content of these animals’ kidneys was significantly different from all the others. The Cd content was highest in the animals from Turku. A good correlation was observed between the Cd contents in liver and kidney. The Cd content of the imported livers was of the same order as that of the Finnish ones. No correlation was found between the Zn, Pb and Cd contents. The amounts of Hg in Finnish cattle were very low, especially so in animals from the North of Finland. The Hg content of the imported samples was of the same order as the figures recorded from the South of Finland.

“…It might be expected that predatory animals would concentrate cadmium to higher levels than herbivorous mammals. However, the only measurement reported for a predatory mammal [0.36 ppm in a coyote kidney (50)] is one of the lowest so far recorded for a wild animal.…”

“…The high content of cadmium reported for tobacco may cause smokers to have considerably higher body burdens of cadmium than nonsmokers. The total burden of cadmium in humans increases with age from very little at birth to an average of about 30 mg in the age range [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]; it may decrease slightly after that.…”

“…Copper is required for caeruloplasmin, which loads iron onto transferrin (Evans and Halliwell 2001). Increased plasma copper concentrations have been found in infectious processes; thus, following serum Cu concentrations is a useful monitor for some diseases (Pasa et al 2003;Schroeder et al 1967).…”

Serum Zinc, Iron and Copper Concentrations in Dogs Infected with Hepatozoon canis

In Turkey, canine hepatozoonosis is an emerging infection with a large number of cases detected during the past five years. In the present study, serum zinc, copper and iron concentrations of dogs infected with Hepatozoon canis were measured for the first time. Compared to the controls (n = 10), serum zinc and iron concentrations in infected animals (n = 14) decreased significantly (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively), whereas the concentrations of copper in diseased animals increased significantly (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that Hepatozoon canis infection may cause alterations in serum zinc iron and copper concentrations. Furthermore, in the treatment of infected animals addition of zinc and iron to the ration of infected animals should be taken into consideration. Hepatozoonozis, dog, trace minerals
