background: it is clear that helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is a spiral bacterium that infects human and causes gastritis and peptic ulcer. the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between h .pylori infection and the iron status of the body. methods: this study was conducted in shahid beheshti hospital of babol university of medical sciences, babol, iran from august 2007 to july...

Liver iron concentration has been determined chemically in 154 liver biopsies and the findings compared with the routine histological assessment of stainable parenchymal iron, performed by an independent observer. There was a significant correlation between liver iron concentration and histochemical grading but the relationship did not have a normal linear form. Absence of stainable iron corres...

in this study the iron status of pregnant women in two different socio-economic groups and also the effect of multigravidity on iron status of the mothers were investigated. blood samples were with drawn from 165 mothers (91 from farah and 74 from missaghieh maternity hospital) immediately after delivery and hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (tibc) and total protei...

the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of feeding iron-deficient diet during pregnancy and lactation on maternal rats. a total number of 64 rats were divided into 4 groups (pregnant), (non pregnant), (lactating) and (non lactating) with 16 animals in each group. parameters used to evaluate the effects of dietary iron deficiency on the maternal animals were: iron contents of live...

production of high quality with high shelf life of apple fruits, is of great importance. present study investigates the effects of ammonium nitrate and iron on quality and antioxidant properties of apple fruit cultivar gala in a randomized complete block design. foliar application of iron chelate in three levels (0, 5 and 10 mg/l) and soil nutrition of ammonium nitrate in three levels as strip ...

In growing individuals, the requirement for absorbed iron consists of iron needed for growth and iron needed to replace inevitable iron loss. We were able to estimate inevitable iron loss by adolescents because total body iron of the adolescents had been enriched with the stable isotope, (58)Fe, as the result of earlier studies of iron absorption. During an interval beginning at least 1.56 y af...
