Copper (Cu) was analyzed in the material and cord blood in 52 women at delivery and 22 age matched non-pregnant controls and its correlation was studied with Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium and Phosphorus. Copper levels were found significantly elevated in maternal blood and lowered in cord blood. Maternal age, parity, miscarriage before this pregnancy of sex of new born had no significant influence on the distribution of Copper levels in blood. A negative correlation was observed between birth weight and Copper levels and was found significantly higher in the cord blood of babies below 3 kg in weight. Correlation studies with other trace elements revealed a positive correlation between Coppers and Zinc only both in maternal and cord blood.
