Spectrophotometric titration with cobalt(III) for the determination of accurate absorption coefficients of transferrins.
A rapid and sensitive technique, involving difference spectral titration with cobalt(III), to measure the epsilon values of chicken ovotransferrin, human serum transferrin, the N-lobe of human transferrin and several single point mutants is reported. The resulting epsilon values were compared with the values calculated from the equation proposed by Pace, Vajdos, Fee, Grimsley and Gray [(1995) P...
متن کاملAccurate Measurement of Small Absorption Coefficients
In this paper procedures for estimating the sound absorption coefficient when the specimen has inherently low absorption are discussed. Examples of this include the measurement of the absorption coefficient of pavements, closed cell foams and other barrier materials whose absorption coefficient is nevertheless required, and the measurement of sound absorption of muffler components such as perfo...
متن کاملOral iron absorption test should not be performed with iron drops containing ferric iron.
INTRODUCTION In an oral iron absorption test (OIAT), the rise in plasma iron concentration after oral ingestion of iron is a measure of intestinal iron absorption. We describe results of the OIAT using two different formulations of oral iron drops. METHODS The study included all patients who had an OIAT performed at the Department of Internal Medicine, Farsø, Aalborg University Hospital, Denm...
متن کاملIron absorption from typical West African meals containing contaminating Fe.
Iron absorption from three typical West African meals was measured in fourteen subjects using the extrinsic-tag technique with 59Fe and 55Fe. All meals consisted of maize as the staple food. Meals were prepared in Benin under realistic conditions from locally grown foods. Of the non-haem-Fe in the meals 39-73% did not exchange with the added inorganic radio-Fe tracer, depending on the degree of...
متن کاملIn Vitro Study to determine the effect of zinc on non-heme iron absorption
It has been well documented that bioavailability of iron is influenced by other food constituents. We carried out a kinetic study to look at the effect of zinc on ferric iron uptake in human epithelial Caco-2 TC7 cell-line. Zinc reduced iron uptake in a concentration-dependent manner. Iron uptake was significantly increased in the presence of ascorbic acid in the medium. We also found that zinc...
