Metabolic Abnormalities of Erythrocytes in Severe Iron Deficiency

Antioxidant Enzymes and Oxidative Stress in the Erythrocytes of Iron Deficiency Anemic Patients Supplemented with Vitamins

Background: Iron deficiency anemia is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Evidences from epidemiological and clinical studies suggest a possible correlation between antioxidant levels and the anemic disease risk. The present work is to investigate antioxidant levels and lipid peroxidation in anemic patients. Methods: A number of 30 patients (15 males and 15 females) we...

Metabolic abnormalities in growth hormone deficiency.

Growth hormone has been implicated in the regulation of cardiovascular function and growth hormone deficiency (GHD) has been postulated to be one of the main factors responsible for the increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease in both young and older patients with childhood- and adulthood-onset GHD. Growth hormone also influences bone turnover and mineral deposition. Subjec...

The life span of erythrocytes in iron-deficiency anaemia.

Red cells, derived from 13 patients with iron-deficiency anaemia, were found to have a normal life span in the patients' own circulations and those of normal volunteers.
