Copper concentration in erythrocytes, platelets, plasma, serum and urine: influence of physical training
Background:Physical training produces changes in the extracellular and intracellular concentrations of traceminerals elements. To our knowledge, only three compartments have been studied simultaneously. The aim of thepresent study was to analyze the influence of physical training on extracellular (s...

| Sumario: | Background:Physical training produces changes in the extracellular and intracellular concentrations of traceminerals elements. To our knowledge, only three compartments have been studied simultaneously. The aim of thepresent study was to analyze the influence of physical training on extracellular (serum, plasma and urine) andintracellular (erythrocytes and platelets) concentrations of Copper (Cu).Methods:Forty young men participated in this study. The participants were divided into a training group (TG;n=20; 18.15 ± 0.27 years; 68.59 ± 4.18 kg; 1.76 ± 0.04 m) and a control group (CG;n= 20; 19.25 ± 0.39 years; 73.45 ± 9.04kg; 1.79 ± 0.06 m). The TG was formed by semi-professional soccer players from a youth category with a regulartraining plan of 10 h/week. All of them had been participating in high level competitions and had trained for atleast 5 years. Plasma, serum, urine, erythrocyte and platelet samples of Cu were obtained and analyzed byinductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).Results:The TG showed lower concentrations of Cu in erythrocytes (p< 0.05) despite similar intakes. There were nosignificant differences in Cu concentrations in plasma, serum, urine and platelets although the trend was similar tothat observed in erythrocytes.Conclusions:The assessment of trace element concentrations should be carried out in both extracellular andintracellular compartments to obtain a proper evaluation and to identify possible deficiencies of the element. Webelieve that additional Cu supplementation is needed in athletes who perform physical training regularly. |
