Some biochemical changes in heme synthesis in iron deficiency.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Some enzymes and intermediates of heme synthesis were determined in blood and urine of 26 women with severe iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Erythrocyte free protoporphyrin was almost doubled and delta-aminolevulinate dehydrase significantly raised. But urinary excretion of delta-aminolevulinic acid and reticulocyte ferrochelatase were significantly reduced in iron deficiency anemia. Hence these could serve as useful indices of iron deficiency and consequent anemia.

Biotin deficiency inhibits heme synthesis and impairs mitochondria in human lung fibroblasts.
Four of the 5 biotin-dependent carboxylases (BDC) are in the mitochondria. BDC replace intermediates in the Krebs [tricarboxylic acid (TCA)] cycle that are regularly removed for the synthesis of key metabolites such as heme or amino acids. Heme, unlike amino acids, is not recycled to regenerate these intermediates, is not utilized from the diet, and must be synthesized in situ. We studied wheth...

متن کاملStimulation of iron uptake and Hb synthesis in iron deficient reticulocytes.
The effect of inhibitors and intermediates of heme synthesis, inhibitor of globin synthesis, and some iron proteins on in vitro iron uptake and haemoglobin synthesis by reticulocytes of iron deficient subjects was investigated in this study. Lead, INH, ALA, mesoprophyrin, ferritin and albumin substantially increased iron uptake by iron deficient reticulocytes, while cycloheximide and glycine de...
متن کاملThe effect of chronic iron deficiency on some biochemical functions of the human hemopoietic tissue.
In view of the erythroid hyperplasia found in the bone marrow of subjects with chronic iron deficiency anemia, the delayed appearance of reticulocytosis following iron therapy is unexplained. Profound disturbances were observed in some biochemical functions of the bone marrow cells isolated from such patients. There was a substantial decrease in the cellular nucleic acid content, associated wit...
متن کاملThe human counterpart of zebrafish shiraz shows sideroblastic-like microcytic anemia and iron overload.
Inherited microcytic-hypochromic anemias in rodents and zebrafish suggest the existence of corresponding human disorders. The zebrafish mutant shiraz has severe anemia and is embryonically lethal because of glutaredoxin 5 (GRLX5) deletion, insufficient biogenesis of mitochondrial iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters, and deregulated iron-regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) activity. This leads to stabilization ...
