Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have become a major cause of death in urban Chinese residents.Numerous studies have found correlations between the occurrence and development of CVD and copper deficiency or excess. As an enzyme activator or inhibitor, copper regulates the metabolism and plays an especially important role in the process of CYD-related metabolism. In this paper, the relationship between copper and CVD will be reviewed.
