Ferritin is a globular hollow protein that acts as the major iron storage protein across living organisms. The 8 nmdiameter internal cavity of ferritin has been used as a nanoreactor for the synthesis of various metallic ...

Ferritin iron from food is readily bioavailable to humans and has the potential for treating iron deficiency. Whether ferritin iron absorption is mechanistically different from iron absorption from small iron complexes/salts ...

There have been few studies on the mutations that cause heterozygous beta-thalassemia and how they affect the iron profile. One hundred and thirty-eight individuals were analyzed, 90 thalasemic β0 and 48 thalasemic β+, ...

Ferritin is a globular protein that consists of 24 subunits forming a hollow nanocage structure that naturally stores iron oxyhydroxides. Elimination of iron atoms to obtain the empty protein called apoferntin is the first ...

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 ...

The proposal for this chapter is, first, to discuss iron metabolism disorder as a risk factor for obesity-related diseases and what increased serum ferritin means in obese individuals. Later, the effect of surgery on dietary ...
