Copper is an essential element, a constituent of all living cells and an integral component of many enzymes. The increase in pollution of the environment, and various metabolic diseases, imbalances biological processes and homeostatic regulated content of bioelements in the body. For the purpose of determining changes in the contents of bioelements with increased intake of copper, the paper followed by interaction before and after ingestion of copper. The results showed that copper in excess causes disruption of physiological interactions of bioelements in tissues and significantly increases the content of iron and magnesium. The nature and relationships of these interactions are important, because in terms of exposure to metals, there are changes in their mutual relations, with some of these antagonistic relationships may be utilized for further study in order to protect them from toxicity.
