Abstract
For 10 days 4 men were given a diet which supplied 166 mu g Mo/day based on sorghum which contained 0.21 mu g Mo/g and for the next 10 days a diet which supplied 540 mu g Mo/day based on another variety of sorghum with 1.39 mu g Mo/g. For a further 7 days they had the diet with sorghum high in Mo and a supplement of ammonium molybdate to give a daily Mo intake of 1540 mu g. There was no change in the amount of uric acid in urine with the different diets. Excretion of Cu in urine was 24, 42 and 77 mu g/24 h, respectively, on the diets with 166, 540 and 1540 mu g Mo. Cu balance studies showed that with a diet high in Mo, Cu in urine rose but Cu in faeces was not affected which indicated that Mo in the diet had no effect on Cu absorption. Cu in serum on the diet low in Mo was 805 mu g/litre and on that high in Mo 1130 mu g/litre which shows that Mo either mobilizes tissue Cu or inhibits Cu uptake or both
