“…The plasma zinc and copper rose to 22 tLmol/l (144 ,ug/100 ml) and 12 '6 ,Vmol/l (80 ,ug/100 ml) respectively and the plasma alkaline phosphatase activity to 305 lU/I. 4.7 ,tmol/l (30.7 ,ug/100 ml) (normal range [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] ,umol/l (72-157 ,tg/100 ml)) and 8-1 ,umol/l (51.5 tg/100 ml) (normal range 12-26 ,umol/l (76-165 ,ug/100 ml)) respectively. Total serum protein was 0-54 g/100 ml with an albumin content of 0-38 g/100 ml; the plasma alkaline phosphatase activity, a zinc-dependent enzyme, was 78 IU/I (normal range 71-247 IU/l).…”
