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 ...

Objective: To evaluate carnitine serum levels as a comorbidity in children with iron deficiency anemia. Patients and Methods: Fifty-four well nourished children (29 boys and 25 girls) with iron deficiency anemia were enrolled. Twenty-five healthy non-anemic ageand sexmatched children were included as a control group. For all anemic children and controls, we performed complete blood cell count, ...

BACKGROUND Iron-deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional problem in Thailand and many developing countries. One of the most sustainable and cost-effective strategies for combating iron deficiency is fortification of staple foods with iron. OBJECTIVE In this study, the feasibility of fortifying instant noodles with different forms of iron fortificants (ferrous sulfate [FS], ferric sodi...

UNLABELLED Previous in vitro results indicated that alginate beads might be a useful vehicle for food iron fortification. A human study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that alginate enhances iron absorption. A randomised, single blinded, cross-over trial was carried out in which iron absorption was measured from serum iron appearance after a test meal. Overnight-fasted volunteers (n = 15)...
