The regulation of trace elements in blood and their storage in the cells occur by a particular system to manage the amount of these elements in normal levels. If this system doesn’t work in a proper manner, these elements may have aberrantly levels and ratios. Increased levels of Copper and decreased Zinc levels are the most common interruptions that happened to this system. In this study serum Copper and Zinc were measured among both hypertensive and normotensive subjects. The study was conducted after formal approval from Alneelian University and from each involved subject. Low levels of both copper and zinc were found among hypertensive subjects when compared with normotensive subjects.
