Extract

The presence of high concentrations of sodium in the mammalian small intestine plays a major role in facilitating copper absorption (e.g. Wapnir and Stiel, 1987). An experiment was conducted that investigated the medium and long-term effects of adding sodium to the diet of sheep on the copper accumulation in body tissues.
