The effect of proteins from animal source foods on heme iron bioavailability in humans
(Elsevier, 2016)
Forty-five women (35-45 year) were randomly assigned to three iron (Fe) absorption sub-studies, which measured the effects of dietary animal proteins on the absorption of heme Fe. Study 1 was focused on heme, red blood ...
Heme oxygenase 1 overexpression increases iron fluxes in Caco-2 cells
(2006)
Heme oxygenase-1 is a microsomal enzyme that, when induced by stress, protects the cells from oxidative
injury. Heme oxygenase-1 participates in the cleavage of the heme ring producing biliverdin, CO and ferrous
Fe. The ...
The Effect of Plant Proteins Derived from Cereals and Legumes on Heme Iron Absorption
(MDPI AG, 2015)
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of proteins from cereals and legumes on heme iron (Fe) absorption. The absorption of heme Fe without its native globin was measured. Thirty adult females participated in two ...
A heme-degradation pathway in a blood-sucking insect

Carbon monoxide: from toxin to endogenous modulator of cardiovascular functions
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 1999-01-01)
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a pollutant commonly recognized for its toxicological attributes, including CNS and cardiovascular effects. But CO is also formed endogenously in mammalian tissues. Endogenously formed CO normally ...
Prebiotics increase heme iron bioavailability and do not affect non-heme iron bioavailability in humans
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2017-05-01)
The aim of this study was to establish the effect of a prebiotic mix on heme and non-heme iron (Fe) bioavailability in humans. To this purpose, twenty-four healthy women were randomized into one of two study groups. One ...
The Trypanosoma cruzi proteins TcCox10 and TcCox15 catalyze the formation of heme A in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2010)
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent for Chagas` disease, has requirements for several cofactors, one of which is heme. Because this organism is unable to synthesize heme, which serves as a prosthetic group for several ...
Heme A synthesis and CcO activity are essential for Trypanosoma cruzi infectivity and replication
(Portland Press, 2017-07)
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, presents a complex life cycle and adapts its metabolism to nutrients' availability. Although T. cruzi is an aerobic organism, it does not produce heme. This cofactor ...
