Background: Iron overload can cause many complications and damage many organs as well as physiologic functions. Consumption of phetochemicals and flavonoids with iron chelating ability, instead of synthetic iron chelators, can be less harmful and more effective. The aim of this review is to investigate hydrophilic phytochelators in iron overload condition. Methods: In this review, the possible ...

abstract fluorescens pseudomonads can suppress soil-borne plant pathogens by employing several mechanisms such as competition for iron by means of siderophores. three indigenous strains pseudomonas fluorescens (utpf5, utpf61 and utpf76), pseudomonas aeruginosa 7nsk2 and its pyoverdin mutant, mpfm1, were used for investigation the effect of iron competition on bean damping-off suppression. the r...

iron is essential to erythrocyte oxygen transport and is a catalyst for oxidative metabolism in all cells. iron is absorbed by the duodenum and requires an acidic environment for optimal absorption. iron is found for 70% in erythrocytes, and 30% in storage, and a small amount in myoglobin and cytochromes. iron supplementation reduces anemia in breastfed infants and increases in significant dose...
