Abstract
Copper deficiency (CuD) is a common cause of oxidative cardiac tissue damage in ruminants. The expression of copper chaperone (Cu-Ch) encoding genes enables an in-depth understanding of copper-associated disorders, but no previous studies have been undertaken to highlight Cu-Ch disturbances in heart tissue in ruminants due to CuD. The current study aimed to investigate the Cu-Ch mRNA expression in the heart of goats after experimental CuD and highlight their relationship with the cardiac measurements. Eleven male goats were enrolled in this study and divided into the control group (n = 4) and CuD group (n = 7), which received copper-reducing dietary regimes for 7 months. Heart function was evaluated by electrocardiography and echocardiography, and at the end of the experiment, all animals were sacrificed and the cardiac tissues were collected for histopathology and quantitative mRNA expression by real-time PCR. In the treatment group, cardiac measurements revealed increased preload and the existence of cardiac dilatation, and significant cardiac tissue damage by histopathology. Also, the relative mRNA expression of Cu-Ch encoding genes; ATP7A, CTr1, LOX, COX17, as well as ceruloplasmin (CP), troponin I3 (TNNI3), glutathione peroxidase (GPX1), and matrix metalloprotease inhibitor (MMPI1) genes were significantly down-regulated in CuD group. There was a significant correlation between investigated genes and some cardiac function measurements; meanwhile, a significant inverse correlation was observed between histopathological score and ATP7B, CTr1, LOX, and COX17. In conclusion, this study revealed that CuD induces cardiac dilatation and alters the mRNA expression of Cu-Ch genes, in addition to TNNI3, GPX1, and MMPI1 that are considered key factors in clinically undetectable CuD-induced cardiac damage in goats which necessitate further studies for feasibility as biomarkers.

The utility of electrocardiography and echocardiography in copper deficiency-induced cardiac damage in goats. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:7815-7827.

Abstract
Copper deficiency (CuD) is a common mineral disorder in ruminants, which causes histomorphological changes in the heart due to disturbances in copper-dependent metalloenzymes. However, alterations in the measurable cardiac parameters during CuD have not been studied in ruminants, especially in goats. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate longitudinally the potential role of electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography to detect the CuD-induced cardiac damage at different time intervals and concomitantly highlighting the impact of CuD on specific hemato-biochemical parameters and histological cardiac disruption in goats. Eight Shiba goats were included and divided into two equal groups; copper adequate (CuA) as a control and copper-deficient (CuD) that supplemented with copper-chelating agents (sulfur 3 g/kg DM and molybdenum 40 mg/kg DM). The hemato-biochemical analysis, ECG assessment at the base apex lead, and right-side echocardiography were performed just before the experimental onset (T0), and later on at two-time intervals after existing of CuD, at the fifth (T5) and seventh (T7) months. Necropsy and histopathological examination of the heart were performed at the end of the experiment. In the CuD group, the heart dimensions at T5 and T7 showed significant increase in QRS duration, ST-segment duration, the left atrial area in systole, left ventricular diameter and volume in diastole, stroke volume, and cardiac output compared with CuA (P < 0.05). Also, myocardial degeneration, necrosis, and fibrosis were evidenced with a concurrent increase of plasma creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, and cardiac troponin I (P < 0.05). In conclusion, CuD disturbs hemato-biochemical parameters and results in myocardial damage and cardiac dilatation that increases some ECG and echocardiographic parameters without development of systolic dysfunction. The ECG and echocardiography can potentially detect cardiac changes in long-lasting CuD in goats.

Abstract
Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential element for human beings and animals; however, high dietary intake of Mo can lead to adverse reactions. Cadmium (Cd) is harmful to health. To investigate the toxicity of Mo combined with Cd in duck kidneys, 240 ducks were randomly divided into six groups and treated with a commercial diet containing Mo, Cd or Mo combined with Cd. Kidneys were collected on days 30, 60, 90 and 120 for determining the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs), including HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 in the kidney through quantitative RT-PCR. We also determined the antioxidant activity indexes in the kidney mitochondria. Moreover, kidney tissues at 120 days were subjected to histopathological analysis with the optical microscope. The results indicated that the expression of HSPs was highly significantly (P < 0.01) upregulated in the kidneys of the combination groups and the Cd group. Exposure to Cd and a high dose of Mo decreased the total antioxidative capacity and the activity of xanthine oxidase, while malondialdehyde levels and the activity of nitric oxide synthase increased compared with those of the control groups in the kidney mitochondria. This was particularly evident at 90 and 120 days. Histopathological lesions included congestion and bleeding in the renal interstitium, swelling of the distal convoluted tubule epithelial cells, granular degeneration and blister degeneration in the renal tubular epithelial cells. These results suggest that a combination of Mo and Cd leads to greater tissue damage and has a synergistic effect on kidney damage. Oxidative damage of kidney mitochondria may be a potential nephrotoxicity mechanism of molybdenum and cadmium, and the high expression of HSPs may play a role in the resistance of kidney toxicity induced by Mo and Cd.

Abstract
In the goat, diagnosis of copper (Cu) deficiency is often based on measurement of Cu in serum or plasma. Previous research in cattle and sheep has shown that these values are not interchangeable, but data for goats have not been published. Paired serum and heparinised plasma samples taken from 119 goats in eight herds were tested for Cu concentration. Plasma and serum Cu were significantly correlated (r=0.95). On average serum Cu was 3.5 μmol/L lower than plasma Cu, but this difference was related to Cu status (r=0.45). Mean serum Cu concentration was 83% of plasma Cu, with the 95% limits of agreement ranging from 66% to 100%. Similar to cattle and sheep, individual variability in Cu loss during clotting is too great for serum Cu to be used as a measure of Cu status in goats.
