After 10 days oral administration of 150 microg/g body weight copper acetate, the concentration of MT in tumor cells reduced sharply, from 316 microg/g tissue to 152 microg/g tissue, while it increased slightly, from 375 microg/g tissue to 439 microg/g tissue, in the livers of tumor-bearing mice (HepA, solid tumor).
