(A) Plasma ceruloplasmin. (B) Plasma copper. (C) Liver copper. Data represent means ± SD (n=5–9). *p<0.05. (D) Hepatic SOD1 expression was determined by Western Blots. Optical density of band was quantified by ImageJ software. The ratio to β-actin was calculated by assigning the value from adequate copper diet controls as one. Data represent means ± SD (n=3). *p<0.05 versus A; #p<0.05 versus AF. (E) Plasma ferritin. (F) Liver iron. Data represent means ± SD (n=5–9). *p<0.05. A, adequate copper diet; M, marginal copper deficient diet; AF, adequate copper diet+30% fructose drinking; MF, marginal copper deficient diet+30% fructose drinking.
