Hee Jeong Jeong, Hye Won Youn, Keon Su Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(4):406-410.   Published online April 15, 2005
Purpose : Anticonvulsants have a number of side effects and some of them may be attributed to a disturbance of serum trace metal homeostasis. Although they are minor building components in tissues, they play important functional roles in the peripheral and central nervous system. We measured serum copper and zinc levels in epileptic children who were treated with anticonvulsants to...

Myung Joon Cha, Young Joon Kim, Ha Joo Choi, Woo Kap Chung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(8):1062-1070.   Published online August 15, 1997
Purpose : The importance of trace elements in their effect on the physiology and pathology of the central nervous system is well recognized. Changes in the concentrations of these elements in the brain could take place in pathological states. Recently, a greater emphasis has been given to the role of trace elements in the function of the nervous system both in normal and pathological...

HDL choleaterol, copper, ceruloplasmin, zinc, and iron values of the blood of 85 newborns delivered at hallym University hospital from September, 1989 to February, 1991 were analysed. The results were as follows: 1) The mean value of HDL cholesterol in 50 normal newborns was 31.37¡¾9.47mg/dl, that of copper 80.54¡¾17.54ug/dl, that of ceruloplasmin 11.34¡¾6.37mg/dl, that of zinc 92.81¡¾79.74ug/dl, that of iron 198.98¡¾86.07 ug/dl. 2)...

In 22 samples of infant formula, marketed in Korea, from Apr. 1986 to Oct. 1986, trace elements especially Zn and Cu levels were examined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results were as follows; 1) B-milk, zinc supplemented, contained Zn 863.23 ±50.52 ㎍/100 g, there were no relations with manufacturing date. 2) A-milk and C-milk contained variable levels from absent to 641.19 ㎍/100 g in Zn, 20.02㎍/100g in...

Hee Joo Jeon, Yong Joon Kim, Hi Joo Park, Chan Yung Kim, Jong Woo Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(2):201-206.   Published online February 28, 1987
Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, Pusan National University Wilson’s disease is due to excessive accumulation of copper in the liver, brain, kidneys and cornea caused by a defect in biliary excretion. The classic presentation of Wilson’s disease is the triad of neurologic abnormalities, Kayser- Fleischer ring and cirrhosis associated with low serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels. The case, 12-year-old boy, suffered from jaundice, abdominal...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1985;28(4):305-313.   Published online April 30, 1985
Human milk is the most appropriate of all available milks for the human infant since it is uniquely adapted to his or her needs. Zinc and Copper are essential for not only as the constituents of enzymes and their activators, but also growth, development and normal metabolism. Zn and Cu concentrations were observed according to the stage of lactation, parity,...
