BACKGROUND Ferrous sulfate is the most used supplement for treating anemia, but it can result in unfavorable side effects. Nowadays, nanotechnology is used as a way to increase bioavailability and decrease the side effects of drugs and nutrients. This study investigates the effects of nanoparticles containing iron on blood and inflammatory markers in comparison to ferrous sulfate in anemic rats...

1. The retention of ferric- and ferrous-iron was determined in guinea-pigs and monkeys using 55Fe and 59Fe. 2. The bioavailability of Fe from two typical Indian diets based on rice and wheat was determined in humans and monkeys using a 59Fe tracer and whole-body counting. 3. The retention ratio, ferric-Fe; ferrous-Fe was 0-90 in guinea-pigs and 0-33 in monkeys, indicating that monkeys absorb fe...

Colmer, Arthur R. (Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge). Relation of the iron oxidizer, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, to thiosulfate. J. Bacteriol. 83:761-765. 1962.-A restudy has been made of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans secured from the acid drainage of some northern West Virginia coal mines. Cultures isolated from ferrous iron agar and then subcultured for 85 consecutive transfers in thiosulfa...

Absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra have been obtained for the ferrous carbonyl adducts of cytochromes P-450 and P-420 as well as synthetic model systems. Ferrous porphyrins with sodium methyl mercaptide and CO in benzene give MCD and absorption spectra which are almost identical to those of the natural enzyme, indicating that in P-450 a mercaptide serves as the fifth ligan...

Ferrous fumarate Pustular drug eruption Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis Generalized pustular psoriasis Aoi Iti, MD, Department of Dermatology, Hirosaki University School of Medicine, 5 Zaifu-cho, Hirosaki 036 (Japan) Although ferrous agents are commonly used clinically, they rarely induce allergic skin eruptions. Moreover, drug eruptions of the pustular type are uncommon and include ...

Ferrous sulphate, a waste product in titanium white production at the Chemical Plant "Police" S.A., was subjected to microbiological oxidation with Thiobacillus ferrooxidans bacteria. The kinetic parameters of the culture growth were calculated on the basis of the Monod equation. The process was found to be best described by the model of the autocatalytic 1st order reaction with respect to the ...

1. The catalytic decomposition of undegraded cellulose in the form of cotton fibres is described with hydrogen peroxide at 0.4-0.04% (w/v) concentration in the presence of ferrous salts at pH3-5. 2. Complete solubilization of 5mg. of cotton fibres occurred in about 7 days in the presence of 0.4% hydrogen peroxide and 0.2mm-ferrous sulphate at the optimum pH4.2-4.3. 3. With 0.4% hydrogen peroxid...

The substitution of 1-methyl-l-histidine for the histidine heme ligands in a de novo designed four-alpha-helix bundle scaffold results in conversion of a six-coordinate cytochrome maquette into a self-assembled five-coordinate mono-(1-methyl-histidine)-ligated heme as an initial maquette for the dioxygen carrier protein myoglobin. UV-vis, magnetic circular dichroism, and resonance Raman spectro...
