Pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme utilizes an iron-sulfur cluster and S-adenosylmethionine to generate the catalytically essential glycyl radical on pyruvate formate-lyase. Variable-temperature (4.2200 K) and variable-field (0.05-8 T) Mössbauer spectroscopy has been used to characterize the iron-sulfur clusters present in anaerobically isolated pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme an...

Chan, B. W. B. (1969). Brit. J. industr. Med., 26, 65-70. Serum iron and iron kinetics in coalworkers with complicated pneumoconiosis. Twenty-three patients with complicated pneumoconiosis were studied, and compared with 16 patients of similar age with chronic non-specific lung disease. In seropositive cases (Rose Waaler titre higher than 1: 32) the serum iron, total iron binding capacity (T.I....

We report our observations on day-to-day variation in serum ferritin, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, and percent saturation of binding proteins with iron in 13 ostensibly healthy subjects during five weeks. The average intrasubject coefficients of variation were 14.5, 28.5, 4.8, and 28.0%, respectively. Precision studies on control samples showed greater within-assay and between-assay...

mucosa or of the nails. Four women had taken iron tablets for long periods, but not for the six months previous to this investigation. During this time they had not observed any change in the ozaena. The Table contains the results of the haematological investigations. All patients had haemoglobin, haematocrit, and red cell count within normal limits. Serum iron was normal in eight patients, and...

Background Iron deficiency is one of the most prevalent anemia. 2 million people in the world suffer from it. All young girls are at higher risk for iron defiency anemia, therefore,diagnosis and prevention of this anemia in the young age is very important. Materials and Methods: A total of 1500 high school girls educated in five regions of education of Mashhad (ages 14-18 years) were studi...
