Using Iron-Chelating Agents in Critically Ill Patients with Iron Overload. Fact or Fiction?

Recently, some evidence has shown that the failure of iron homeostasis may occur in critically ill patients and can lead to iron overload. Elevated ferritin levels as a body iron burden index in critically ill patients may be associated with depressed level of consciousness and greater mortality. However, the necessity of using iron-chelating agents in clinical situation is still unknown for th...

Hepcidin and its role in iron absorption.

Maintaining the correct iron balance is crucial to good health. Disorders of iron homeostasis have a global distribution. As iron is not actively excreted by the body, understanding the role of proteins involved in regulating iron uptake is essential to our understanding of disease involving iron homeostasis. Over the past 10 years, major advances have been made in understanding the genetics of...

Rice Enrichment by Genetic Engineering for Combating Iron and Zinc Deficiency

Iron deficiency anemia and zinc deficiency are among the most recognized forms of micronutrient malnutrition and about two billion of people around the world suffer from it.  Monotonous diets based on staple cereals are in fact a poor source of iron and zinc. Rice is a staple food for more than half of the world's population. Various methods have been proposed for food enrichment, but many of t...

A fungal multicopper oxidase restores iron homeostasis in aceruloplasminemia.

Mutations that lead to a loss of the copper-containing plasma enzyme ceruloplasmin disrupt mammalian iron homeostasis. The mechanism by which ceruloplasmin mobilizes iron from cell stores has been controversial. We demonstrate that injection of a soluble copper-containing yeast protein Fet3p can restore iron homeostasis in phlebotomized mice with a deletion of the ceruloplasmin gene. These resu...
