Determination of ferrous-ferric iron contents in tourmaline using synchrotron-based XANES

Olfactory ferric and ferrous iron absorption in iron-deficient rats.

The absorption of metals from the nasal cavity to the blood and the brain initiates an important route of occupational exposures leading to health risks. Divalent metal transporter-1 (DMT1) plays a significant role in the absorption of intranasally instilled manganese, but whether iron uptake would be mediated by the same pathway is unknown. In iron-deficient rats, blood (59)Fe levels after int...

Separate pathways for cellular uptake of ferric and ferrous iron.

Separate pathways for transport of nontransferrin ferric and ferrous iron into tissue cultured cells were demonstrated. Neither the ferric nor ferrous pathway was shared with either zinc or copper. Manganese shared the ferrous pathway but had no effect on cellular uptake of ferric iron. We postulate that ferric iron was transported into cells via beta(3)-integrin and mobilferrin (IMP), whereas ...

Paracoccidioides spp. ferrous and ferric iron assimilation pathways

Iron is an essential micronutrient for almost all organisms, including fungi. Usually, fungi can uptake iron through receptor-mediated internalization of a siderophore or heme, and/or reductive iron assimilation (RIA). Traditionally, the RIA pathway consists of ferric reductases (Fres), ferroxidase (Fet3) and a high-affinity iron permease (Ftr1). Paracoccidioides spp. genomes do not present an ...

Modeling Ferrous/ferric Iron Chemistry with Application to Martian Surface

Introduction: The Mars Exploration Rover (MER) missions have stimulated considerable thinking about the surficial geochemical evolution of Mars [1-4]. Among the major MER findings is the presence of the mineral, jarosite (a ferric sulfate salt), which suggests formation from an acid-sulfate brine. The objectives of this work were to (1) add ferric iron chemistry to an existing ferrous iron mode...
