Through correlation analysis, direct and proved interrelationships were established between the copper and iron exchange indices on the one hand, and the blood serum general protein levels and vitamin C sufficiency on the other. The blood serum copper levels and ceruloplasmin activity correlated with the blood serum alpha-globulins, whereas gamma-globulins were found in correlation with the hemoglobin concentrations, peroxidase and ceruloplasmin activity levels. Physical working capacity in blacksmiths was found interrelated with the direct and indirect trace element exchanges: hemoglobin in the blood, blood serum iron levels, peroxidase activity and copper content in blood cells.
