Different metabolic pathways of supplemental and fortification Fe, or inhibition of Zn absorption by Fe, may explain adverse effects of supplemental Fe in Fe-sufficient infants. We determined whether the mode of oral Fe administration or the amount habitually consumed affects Fe absorption and systemic Fe utilisation in infants, and assessed the effects of these interventions on Zn absorption, ...

Effects of 10 microM cadmium (supplied as Cd nitrate) on the utilization and allocation of iron (Fe) were investigated in poplar (Populus alba L.) plants grown in nutrient solution with Fe(III)-EDTA or Fe(III)-citrate as the Fe source. The effects of Cd were also compared with those of Fe deprivation. The accumulation of Fe in roots was 10-fold higher in plants grown with Fe-citrate than with F...

Microbial dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) is widespread in anaerobic sediments and is a key producer of aqueous Fe(II) in suboxic sediments that contain reactive ferric oxides. Previous studies have shown that DIR produces some of the largest natural fractionations of stable Fe isotopes, although the mechanism of this isotopic fractionation is not yet well understood. Here we compare Fe isot...

Lifetimes of metastable levels in the ground term of Fe ions within the 3s3p, k51 – 5, isoelectronic sequences have been measured. These measurements were performed utilizing ions that were selected by mass to charge ratio while transported from an electron cyclotron resonance ion source to a Kingdon ion trap, where they were captured and then confined for periods of up to 2.1 s. During this st...

The Fe content in animal feeds is highly variable. The availability of Fe in feeds varies with the feed and the form in which Fe is present. The present study reports the effect of the addition of different concentrations of Fe from yeast biomass on Fe bioavailability and Fe level in rat liver, compared with a diet containing Fe-sulphate (Fe-sulphate) addition (control) and with a diet without ...

آلیاژهای منیزیم معمولاً دارای عدم تقارن تسلیم در حالت کشش و فشار هستند که این عامل ناشی از سازوکارهای مختلف تغییر شکل پلاستیک فعال تحت بارگذاری‌های کششی فشاری است. مقاله بر روی شبیه‌سازی المان حجمی نماینده‌ی سه‌بعدی آلیاژ اکسترود شده تمرکز دارد تا با کمک روابط کریستال پلاستیسیته تأثیر شدت بافت پایه ـ را بررسی کند. پلاستیسته مبتنی‌بر لغزش به‌صورت یک زیربرنامه نرم‌افزار آباکوس (U‌M‌A‌T) برای آزمون...

abstract- the effects of iron (fe) and zinc (zn) treatments on the growth and nutrient composition of chickpea were studied in a greenhouse experiment arranged in a completely randomized design. while the application of fe decreased mean shoot dry weight of chickpea, that of zn had no significant effect on chickpea shoot dry weight. increasing fe levels drastically decreased mn concentration an...

BACKGROUND Iron (Fe) deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency worldwide. Iron biofortification is a preventative strategy that alleviates Fe deficiency by improving the amount of absorbable Fe in crops. In the present study, we used an in vitro digestion/Caco 2 cell culture model as the guiding tool for breeding and development of two maize (Zea mays L.) lines with contrasting Fe ...
