Effects of environment, radiation, and disease on serum copper and zinc levels in the beagle with applications to man

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4066497
Serum copper and zinc levels were elevated in beagles with radioinduced osteosarcoma and human patients with primary osteosarcomas had elevated serum copper and zinc levels. Exposure to $sup 226$Ra or $sup 90$Sr did not alter serum copper or zinc, but serum zinc levels were elevated and serum copper levels were depressed in dogs receiving $sup 60$Co whole-body irradiation.
