The Association between Zinc and Copper and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Adults by Al Kudsi, Dana Samir

“…High Zn/Cu ratio increased the prevalence of low HDL (4.508; p?0.001) and MetS (5.570; p?0.01). These findings suggest that high Cu levels are associated with a protective effect on DBP, HDL, and MetS and that high plasma Zn/Cu ratio is associated with the risk of low HDL and MetS. …”
