Abstract
Understanding how cuproenzymes are regulated in connective tissues is vital to understanding the role copper and copper complexes play in ameliorating chronic inflammations. The rapidly growing chick aorta is an excellent model system to test the effects of copper availability on cuproenzyme production because chicks are readily made deficient, copper metabolism in aorta has been partially characterized through metabolic studies with lysyl oxidase, and chick aortas can be cultured in serum free media. The intent of this presentation is to describe some of the copper regulatory mechanisms being investigated for the aortic copper-zinc superoxide dismutase in chick.
