Systemic absorption of intrauterine copper

Systemic absorption of intrauterine copper

T Okereke et al. Science. .

Abstract

A comparison of the various effects, in rats, of intrauterine insertion of copper-64 or copper-67 wire with the effects of intraperitoneal injection of copper sulfate solutions has shown that copper ions, dissolved from the wire, are locally active contraceptively and, in part, systemically absorbed.
