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 ...

Parental iron supplementation in neonatal piglets is a routine management to solve anemia but may cause welfare problems. The aim of this study was to assess behavior responses generated after oral or parenteral iron ...

Objective: Malabsorption of iron has been reported in children with symptomatic giardiasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate intestinal absorption of iron in children with asymptomatic giardiasls and iron deficiency ...

With the challenge of optimizing iron delivery, new intravenous (iv) iron-carbohydrate complexes have been developed in the last few years. A good example of these new compounds is ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), which has ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Iron deficiency is common in inflammatory bowel disease, yet oral iron therapy may worsen the disease symptoms and increase systemic and local oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to compare the ...

Currently, all pigs raised on intensive farms develop iron-deficiency anemia if they do not receive supplemental iron at birth. Weaning diets commonly contain high concentrations of iron, and the effect on the copper and ...

The objective of this study was to develop an encapsulated iron supplement for oral ingestion and to determine its effect on the iron nutrition status of suckling pigs. Encapsulated and non-encapsulated iron supplement was ...

This work aimed to develop and characterize liposomes of atomized bovine erythrocytes (ABE-liposomes) for potential use as a heme iron supplement or to fortify food with heme iron. Soy lecithin (SL) and Tween 80 (T80) ...
