Redox reactions are ubiquitous in biological processes. Enzymes involved in redox metabolism often use cofactors in order to facilitate electron-transfer reactions. Common redox cofactors include micronutrients such as ...

The effect of iron on abalone postlarvae (Haliotis rufescens) was investigated in a controlled-culturing system. Three iron concentrations (0.15, 1.5 and 15mgL-1 of Fe) and a control (no iron added) were used to culture ...

Iron supplementation in hemodialysis patients is fundamental to erythropoiesis, but may cause harmful effects. We measured oxidative stress using labile plasma iron (LPI) after parenteral iron replacement in chronic ...

Background: One of the strategies to control iron deficiency anemia is the fortification of food with iron. A mechanism for improving the bioavailability of iron is to add an iron absorption promoter. Objective: The ...

Adequate acclimatization time to enable adjustment to hypoxic conditions is one of the most important aspects for mountaineers ascending to high altitude. Accordingly, most reviews emphasize mechanisms that cope with reduced ...

The aim of this study was to characterize nonheme iron (NHI) and heme iron (HI) microparticles to elaborate a novel oral iron supplement, determining its effect on the iron nutritional status of neonatal piglets. Nonheme ...

Introduction: Micronutrient deficiencies are one of the most important public health issues worldwide and iron (Fe) deficiency anemia is the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency. Iron deficiency often coexists with ...

Background: Iron is essential for the maintenance of basic cellular processes. In the regulation of its cellular levels, ferritin acts as the main intracellular iron storage protein. In this work we present a mathematical ...
