      WASHINGTON, May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- An article published in Experimental Biology and Medicine (Volume 243, Issue 9, May 2018) answers a long-standing clinical question regarding elevated blood copper levels in patients with myocardial ischemia (http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1535370218773055). The study, led by Dr. Y. James Kang in the Regenerative Medicine Research Center at Sichuan University West China Hospital in Chengdu, China, reports that copper is released from the heart into the blood in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia.
