Copper Storage in the Body

  • Primary Storage Organ: The liver is the principal organ responsible for storing the majority of excess dietary copper in the human body.
  • Role of the Liver:
  • It acts as the main regulatory center for copper metabolism, homeostatic control, and distribution.
  • Excess copper ingested through the diet is primarily taken up by the liver, where it binds to specific proteins such as metallothionein for safe storage or is excreted via the bile.
  • Secondary Tissues: While the liver holds the largest reserve, secondary amounts of copper can also be stored in the brain, kidneys, and muscles when systemic overload occurs.
