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 rat...

conclusions it can be concluded that gi complications in pregnant women using ferrous sulfate are mostly caused by physiologic changes of pregnancy rather than ferrous sulfate; therefore, it is not reasonable to stop using ferrous sulfate due to gi complications. results none of the gi complications were significantly different between the ferrous sulfate and placebo groups at 24th - 28th and 3...

iron oxide is an important biological agent that has a key role in medical processes; however, the mechanism whereby it provides iron for human and animal cells and its biological uses remains unclear. we aimed to evaluate the effects of oral iron oxide on serum iron status and compare the results with those of iron sulfate as a reference salt. fifteen adult rabbits were divided into 3 groups o...

UNLABELLED Iron has been suggested to reduce the erosive potential of cola drinks in vitro. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate in situ the effect of ferrous sulfate supplementation on the inhibition of the erosion caused by a cola drink. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten adult volunteers participated in a crossover protocol conducted in two phases of 5 days, separated by a washout perio...

Objective(s): Iron is an essential element for living organisms. Iron overload can have detrimental effects on health. This study pertains to the protective role of berberine against ferrous sulfate-induced hepatic and renal functional disorders and histological damages in rats.Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into four groups (n=7): Sham, Ber (10 mg/kg/day for 14 days, by gavage), ...

BACKGROUND There is a need to determine whether iron absorption from iron amino acid chelates is protected from inhibition by dietary phytate and regulated normally by iron status. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare iron absorption from ferrous sulfate, ferrous bisglycinate, and ferric trisglycinate in whole-maize meal; to determine whether iron from ferrous bisglycinate and...

introduction: the objective of this study was, wastewater quality investigation and removal efficiency of contaminants from the wastewater tile factory by using  coagulants includes ferric chloride, ferric sulfate and ferrous, aluminum sulfate and poly aluminum chloride in order to reuse it in the processing line. methods: this is an applied study. with regard to shiftwork schedules of the fact...

R ECENTLY a new reagent was proposed for the determination of cholesterol (1, 2). This reagent was purported to be saturated ferrous sulfate in glacial acetic acid. Since it has been reported that ferrous sulfate is qualitatively insoluble in anhydrous acetic acid (3, 4) and that ferrous iron is “subject to pronounced air oxidation in glacial acetic acid” (5), it was felt that several factors s...

The effects of cholesterol and Tween 80 on the physical stability of empty liposomes were investigated. Results showed that the physical stability of liposomes, including electrostatic and steric stability, was improved by addition of cholesterol and Tween 80. Liposomes prepared by different methods, thin-film hydration, thin-film sonication, reverse-phase evaporation and freeze-thawing, were t...

Objective: Iron overload in the body is related with toxic effects and threatens the health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective role of hydroalcoholic extract of ginger (Zingiber officinale) against ferrous sulfate-induced hepatic and renal functional disorders and histological damages in rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into four groups (n=7): Sham, Sham + G...
