Iron Metabolism Using Iron 59 (59Fe) as a Tracer

A Tracer Study of Iron Metabolism with Radioactive Iron

The metabolism of iron is one of the most important subjects in the field of mineral metabolism. ,There have been numerous investigations of its problems, but until recently they have been seriously limited by the methods of study available. The production of radioactive isotopes of iron (1, 2) provided a new research tool which has proved of great value in the investigation of this field. Iron...

Absorption of non heme iron in typical and standard meals using extrinsically labeled iron 59Fe.

OBJECTIVE To study the bioavailibility of nonheme iron from standard and test meals in Pakistani adults and to determine iron absorption using extrinsically tagged iron 59Fe. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Nonheme iron absorption was measured from standard and test meals in ten healthy individuals. Total calories, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, ascorbic acid, total iron, phytate and ascorbic acid conte...

Iron as a Tracer in Galaxy Clusters and Groups

Available X-ray data are collected and organized concerning the iron and gas content of galaxy clusters and groups, together with the optical luminosity, mass and iron abundance of cluster galaxies. Moving from such a restricted number of cluster parameters several astrophysical inferences are drawn. These include the evidence for rich clusters having evolved without much baryon exchange with t...
