The toxicity of iron, an essential element
Iron is the most abundant trace mineral in the body and is an essential element in most biological systems.1,2 It is likely that iron was essential for developing aerobic life on Earth.3 But iron is toxic to cells in excessive amounts. Acute iron poisoning is common and potentially lethal in dogs, cats, and many other animals. Iron is also a leading cause of unintentional poisoning deaths in ch...
متن کاملIron-responsive element-binding protein 2 plays an essential role in regulating prostate cancer cell growth
Iron-responsive element-binding proteins (IRPs) are master regulators of cellular iron homeostasis. Our previous work demonstrated that iron homeostasis is altered in prostate cancer and contributes to prostate cancer progression. Here we report that prostate cancer cells overexpress IRP2 and that overexpression of IRP2 drives the altered iron phenotype of prostate cancer cells. IRP2 knockdown ...
متن کاملIron Metabolism in Humans: An Overview
1. When iron was available some 10 billion years ago, it was available as Fe (II), but Fe (II) is not a very strong Lewis acid. Thus, it does not bind strongly to most small molecules or activate them strongly toward reaction. 2. Today iron is not readily available from sea or water solutions due to oxidation and hydrolysis. 3. Iron in ferrous state is not easily retained by proteins since it d...
متن کاملAn investigation of the effect of hyperthermia using iron and magnetic nanoparticles in cancer treatment
Introduction: hyperthermia using different methods such as microwave and magnetic waves is one of the methods to treat cancer. In this method, iron and magnetic nanoparticles are used to increase the temperature and increase the effect of hyperthermia as auxiliary treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this study, the role of iron and magnetic nanoparticles have been ...
متن کاملContinuity of care: an essential element of modern general practice?
For a variety of reasons, GPs are working more and more with unfamiliar patients. The proposed new British GP contract stipulates that in future patients will register with a practice, rather than with a named GP and a recent new definition of general practice did not mention continuing care. There has been persistent confusion about the definition of continuity of care. Evidence for the benefi...
