The serum ceruloplasmin assay is the most commonly used test for diagnosing Wilson's disease (WD). Despite the utility of non-invasive tests for diagnosing WD, no such tests have been developed. Therefore, we aimed to identify a safe and non-invasive assay and determine the factors associated with salivary ceruloplasmin.

- Hepatolenticular degeneration (HLD) is a genetic disease that affects how the body handles copper, causing problems in different organs, especially in female reproductive health.
- In a study, researchers tested a substance called berberine on mice with HLD to see if it could help protect their ovaries from damage.
- The results showed that berberine improved the health of the ovaries by reducing harmful processes and stress caused by excess copper, leading to better ovulation and healthier ovary structure.
