A decade later, in 1938, it was observed that patients with rheu- matoid arthritis exhibited a higher than normal serum copper concentration that returned to normal with remission of this disease. Thirteen years later, it was found that copper complexes were effective in treating arthritic dis- eases. The first report that copper complexes had antiinflammatory activity in an animal model of inflammation appeared twenty-two years after the dis- covery of essentiality. In 1976, it was suggested that the active forms of the antiarthritic drugs are their copper complexes formed in vivo. This sugges- tion has been confirmed and extended in the interim in over 200 recent publications. Individual biomedical scientists from many countries who have published in these areas recently saw a need for a meeting to exchange current re- supporting new hypotheses. We search results and discuss the evidence met on the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences campus in Little Rock, Arkansas, August 10-13, 1981. Participants came from Australia, England, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, Wales, Zimbabwe, and over twenty of the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284794663063,"sku":"9781461258315","price":14690.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461258315.webp?v=1769282242","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/inflammatory-diseases-and-copper-the-metabolic-and-therapeutic-roles-of-copper-and-other-essential-metalloelements-in-humans-9781461258315","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
