Copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) toxicities primarily affect the liver as this is the first site where these metals deposit after they enter the blood. Objective: to compare the time course of the oxidative damage (OD) induced by toxic level of Cu and Fe in rat liver; to correlate OD with time of treatment (Pearson´s factor, r, p
