What does CP stand for?

Chlorella has multiple published health-inducing effects: * toxin binding (via its mucopolysaccharide membrane) of all known toxic metals and many environmental toxins such as dioxin, chlordane, and others; * antiviral, especially effective against the cytomegalovirus from the herpes family; * repair and activation of the body's detoxification functions: * it dramatically increases intracellular reduced glutathione; * its component sporopollenin is as effective as cholestyramin in binding neurotoxins and more effective in binding toxic metals then any other natural substance found; * various peptides restore ceruloplasmin and metallothioneine; * lipids (12.

Ceruloplasmin Ceruloplasmin (CP) is an alpha2-globulin that contains approximately 95 percent of the total serum copper, giving it a blue color.

Additional markers of liver disease Marker Associated disease Antimitochondrial antibody (AMA) Primary biliary cirrhosis Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) Hepatocellular carcinoma (high probability when levels >400 ng/dl Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody Primary sclerosing cholangitis (p-ANCA) Antismooth muscle antibody (ASMA) Autoimmune hepatitis Ceruloplasmin Wilson's disease In conclusion, liver-function tests are not direct measures of liver function but, rather, indirect measures of liver integrity.

Plasma copper and ceruloplasmin are not likely to be useful because they are increased by inflammation (Pepys 1996) and may be falsely high.

Almost all patients with Wilson's Disease also have a decreased level of serum ceruloplasmin, a copper binding protein, in their blood.

2 seconds, Cu 134 U/L (70-153 U/L) and ceruloplasmin 409 U/L (280-570 U/L).

Effects of copper supplementation on ceruloplasmin and copper-zinc superoxide dismituse in free living rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Serum levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activity were unchanged by high-dose atorvastatin; however, mean circulating ceruloplasmin levels were reduced 10%-15% at various time points, compared with placebo.
