proper feeding is necessary to have appropriate growth, health and also to increase resistance to inappropriate condition such as stressors and diseases. therefore mineral and vitamin supplements are added to fish diet to improve its growth and health. food supplements have different roles in diet. these cause better food metabolism, higher hardness and strength of bones, better ionic exchanges...

Transport of iron to tissues is of vital importance. Remarkable advances have been made concerning the mechanisms involving iron metabolism after its absorption. Studies assessing cellular and mitochondrial iron metabolism have resulted in interesting findings. This review highlights the recent advances in the mechanisms involving transport and delivery of iron to tissues, cellular and mitochon...

Previous studies have indicated that hepcidin, which can regulate iron efflux by binding to ferroportin-1 (FPN1) and inducing its internalization and degradation, acts as the critical factor in the regulation of iron metabolism. However, it is unknown whether hepcidin is involved in acute renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). In this study, an IRI rat model was established via right renal ex...

Iron metabolism has been intensively examined over the last decade and there are many new players in this field which are worth to be introduced. Since its discovery many studies confirmed role of liver hormone hepcidin as key regulator of iron metabolism and pointed out liver as the central organ of system iron homeostasis. Liver cells receive multiple signals related to iron balance and respo...

OBJECTIVE The bidirectional relationship between iron metabolism and glucose homeostasis is increasingly recognized. Several pathways of iron metabolism are modified according to systemic glucose levels, whereas insulin action and secretion are influenced by changes in relative iron excess. We aimed to update the possible influence of iron on insulin action and secretion and vice versa. RESEA...

Disruptions in iron homeostasis from both iron deficiency and overload account for some of the most common human diseases. Iron metabolism is balanced by two regulatory systems, one that functions systemically and relies on the hormone hepcidin and the iron exporter ferroportin, and another that predominantly controls cellular iron metabolism through iron-regulatory proteins that bind iron-resp...

Iron is an essential nutrient. Its deficiency hinders the synthesis of ATP and DNA. We report that galactose metabolism is defective when iron availability is restricted. Our data support this connection because 1) galactose-mediated induction of GAL promoter-dependent gene expression was diminished by iron limitation, and 2) iron-deficient mutants grew slowly on galactose-containing medium. Th...

Among various micro-nutrients, iron plays a major role not only for hemoglobin alone but also for oxidative metabolism and energy production. Hemoglobin functions as a chief oxygen carrier while other iron containing mitochondrial enzymes and respiratory chain proteins are involved in oxidative metabolism and release of energy from carbohydrates and fats. Iron salts have very low bioavailabilit...
