Neuron Signaling
‘Too much copper in the cell can reduce neuron signaling,’ said Prof. Chris Chang, a chemist who is part of the Sackler Sabbatical Exchange Program at Berkeley, CA. He discovered this with the use of a fluorescent probe to track the movement of copper in and out of the nerve cells. And he figured out that when copper levels in the cell fall and signaling resumes.
Arthritis
Studies done on animals have indicated that copper may help prevent or delay arthritis, [4] and people wear copper bracelets for this purpose. However, there’s no study to prove a similar effect on humans.
