conclusions not using iron supplementation did not cause of anemia in women with hb concentrations greater than 13.2 g/dl during pregnancy; thus, the systematic care and control of iron status markers without iron supplementation is recommended for these women. results there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in hb (p = 0/03) and ferritin (p = 0/04) levels at the ...

Iron is essential for human life, but toxic if present in excess. To avoid iron overload and maintain iron homeostasis, all cells are able to regulate their iron content through the post-transcriptional control of iron genes operated by the cytosolic iron regulatory proteins that interact with iron responsive elements on iron gene mRNA. At the systemic level, iron homeostasis is regulated by th...

Ferritin iron, hemosiderin iron, total iron stores and transformation rate were determined by serum ferritin kinetics. The transformation rate between ferritin and hemosiderin is motivated by the potential difference between them. The transformer determines transformation rate according to the potential difference in iron mobilization and deposition. The correlations between transformation rate...

in this study, the isothermal reduction of iron oxide pellets, made of iranian chadormalo, gole-gohar, and sangan iron ores, was investigated in the temperature range of 900-1100°c. tabas, pabdana, babnizoo, karmozd, and shahrood domestic coals were used as reductants. parametric studies were performed and the effects of such factors as temperature, average particle size of iron ore and coal fi...

AIMS To compare iron fortified follow-on milk (iron follow-on), iron fortified partially modified cows' milk (iron milk), and iron medicine for the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in hospitalised infants. METHODS In a randomised controlled trial, infants aged 9-23 months with IDA and who were hospitalised with an acute illness received iron follow-on (12 mg/l ferrous iron), iron mi...

aim : to investigate if hepatic iron content influences the response to therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis c or b. background : it seems that the presence of elevated body iron stores and, in particular, elevated hepatic iron levels, is one of the strongest predictors of resistance to interferon treatment for chronic hepatitis c or b. patients and methods : two hundred and one patients ...

introduction: children’s iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional problem; it plays an important role in reducing the child’s scientific and practical abilities. this study aims at reviewing the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in 1 to 6 year old children referring to the city health care centers in jahrom. material and methods: this is a descriptive-analytical and cross-sectio...
