2. Copper pesticide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_pesticide

   Copper pesticides are copper compounds used as bactericides, algaecides, or fungicides. They can kill bacteria, oomycetes and algae, and prevent fungal spores from germinating. Common forms of fixed copper fungicides include copper sulfate, copper sulfate pentahydrate, copper hydroxide, copper oxychloride sulfate, cuprous oxide, and copper ...

3. Antimicrobial properties of copper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_properties...

   The result is inactivation of bacteria or viruses. [15] Copper complexes form radicals that inactivate viruses. [16] [17] Copper may disrupt enzyme structures, and functions by binding to sulfur- or carboxylate-containing groups and amino groups of proteins. [18] Copper may interfere with other essential elements, such as zinc and iron.

4. Copper toxicity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_toxicity

   Copper toxicity (or Copperiedus) is a type of metal poisoning caused by an excess of copper in the body. Copperiedus could occur from consuming excess copper salts, but most commonly it is the result of the genetic condition Wilson's disease and Menke's disease, which are associated with mismanaged transport and storage of copper ions.

5. Copper(II) sulfate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper(II)_sulfate

   Copper(II) sulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cu SO 4.It forms hydrates CuSO 4 ·nH 2 O, where n can range from 1 to 7. The pentahydrate (n = 5), a bright blue crystal, is the most commonly encountered hydrate of copper(II) sulfate, [10] while its anhydrous form is white. [11]

   Wilson's disease is managed by copper chelation therapy [121] with D-penicillamine (which picks up and binds copper and enables patients to excrete excess copper accumulated in the liver), therapy with zinc sulfate or zinc acetate, and restrictive dietary metal intake, such as the elimination of chocolate, oysters, and mushrooms. [64]

7. Menkes disease - Wikipedia

   Menkes syndrome can be diagnosed by blood tests of the copper and ceruloplasmin levels, skin biopsy, and optical microscopic examination of the hair to view characteristic Menkes abnormalities. X-rays of the skull and skeleton are conducted to look for abnormalities in bone formation. [ 7 ]

9. Wilson's disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson's_disease

   Medical treatments are available for Wilson's disease. Some increase the removal of copper from the body, while others prevent the absorption of copper from the diet. Generally, penicillamine is the first treatment used. This binds to copper (by chelation) and leads to excretion of copper in the urine. Hence, monitoring of the amount of copper ...
