Transcriptional regulation of copper metabolism genes in the liver of fetal and neonatal control and iron-deficient rats

Copper and iron metabolism have been known to interact for many years. We have previously shown, during pregnancy, that copper levels in the maternal liver rise as a consequence of iron deficiency, but that levels in the fetal liver decrease. In this paper, we measure expression of genes involved in...
