Hepatic iron deposition in humans. I. First-pass hepatic deposition of intestinally absorbed iron in patients with low plasma latent iron-binding capacity.
capacity was saturated by an acute intravenous infusion of iron, deposited a large fraction of intestinally absorbed iron in the liver during the first pass of portal venous blood through this organ.1 Subsequently, Wheby and Umpiere demonstrated similar results in normal human subjects given sufficient iron to acutely saturate their plasma iron-binding capacity.2 Our results in patients with sp...
متن کاملHepcidin levels in humans are correlated with hepatic iron stores, hemoglobin levels, and hepatic function.
Hepcidin, a key regulator of iron metabolism, is synthesized by the liver. Hepcidin binds to the iron exporter ferroportin to regulate the release of iron into plasma from macrophages, hepatocytes, and enterocytes. We analyzed liver samples from patients undergoing hepatic surgery for cancer or receiving liver transplants and analyzed correlations between clinical parameters and liver hepcidin ...

متن کاملBrain Iron Deposition
The brain uses iron for many essential processes (1-4). The extent of iron utilization is heavily dependent on local functional requirements, leading to significant variations in tissue iron concentrations throughout the brain (5-7). This was graphically illustrated nearly a century ago in the first colour illustrations of the differential distribution of iron throughout the brain architecture,...
متن کاملHepatic iron overload in aceruloplasminaemia.
We report the case of a 52 year old male with diabetes mellitus and long standing evidence of hepatic iron excess. Initially considered to have haemochromatosis, this patient was reevaluated when hepatic iron stores were found to be unaffected by a prolonged course of weekly phlebotomy. The development of neurological disease prompted diagnostic consideration of aceruloplasminaemia, which we co...
