Instruction For Use Iron In The Body Ferritin And Molecular Representations
The manganese concentration levels in three recombinant ferritins were greater Ferritin releases iron to cells for bio-synthetic proteins or enzymes that utilize iron(5, 6). Ferritin can use a threephase tunnel (X, Y, Z) on the protein shell as a affinity column (GE healthcare) according to the manufacturer's instruction. Heme iron polypeptide for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in non-...
متن کاملThe Effect of Eight Weeks Aerobic Training on Serum Ferritin Level, Glycemic and Lipid Indices in Women with Type 2 Diabetes
Background and Aim: Recent studies indicate that increased body iron stores have been associated with the development of glucose intolerance and type 2 Diabetes. Ferritin is the most important iron storage protein in the body, which is used to evaluate disorders associated with iron metabolism. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of eight weeks of aerobic training on serum ferritin ...

متن کاملEvaluation of Iron Bioavailability in Caco-2 cell Culture Model: Modification of the Original Method
Background and Objectives: In the original in vitro method for evaluation of iron bioavailability using caco-2 cell model, ferritin formation by cells is considered as a functional indicator of both absorption and utilization of iron. However, as iron is measured in the tested material and then ferritin concentration is measured in caco-2 cell lysate, it is almost impossible to have a concrete ...
متن کاملAssociation between Iron, TIBC and Ferritin with Thyroid Hormones Levels in Patients Referred to Shouride Clinic Laboratory
Background and Aim: Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional disorders in the world, and it may affect the metabolism and function of a number of proteins, including the level of thyroid hormones. As such, fluctuations in the level of thyroid hormones may also affect the body's iron status. The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between thyroid hormones and the status...
