Iron Nutrition in Low-Birth-Weight Infants
Since the early 1920s pediatric textbooks have recognized that infants often become anemic a few months after a preterm birth. However, except for its greater severity, the anemia does not differ in any way from that of full-term infants. It can be divided into an early and a late anemia of prematurity. The early anemia represents the initial fall in concentration of hemoglobin which occurs dur...
متن کاملHuman Erythrocyte Superoxide Dismutase Encapsulated in Positively Charged Liposomes
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important antioxidant that protects many types of cells from the free radical damage. One of the possible ways for the use of SOD is its incorporation in liposomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cationic phospholipids on the entrapment of human erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) in liposomes. Also, in the present study, w...
متن کاملLevels of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity in Japanese people.
Levels of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activitiy in a sample of Japanese people were determined. Blood samples were taken from new-born infants, preschool children, young and old people who had no apparent diseases and also from three anemic patients. Erythrocyte SOD activities in different age groups had a nearly normal distribution. Females had slightly lower activities than males, ...
متن کاملDevelopmental Outcomes of Premature and Low Birth Weight Infants
Background: Prematurity is the most common cause of death and disability And Preterm infants, are prone to developmental complications. For this reason this study was designed for follow up of these babies until 2 years by modified DDST-2. Methods: This study was a prospective longitudinal descriptive study from March 2009 to March 2011 in clinic of sheikh and Imam Reza Hospitals, mashhad, Iran...
متن کاملGlycation of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase reduces its activity.
purified. Purified SOD was incubated with 1 M glucose at 37 •Ž for 14d under sterile conditions. Nonezymatic addition of glucose to SOD molecules increased linearly until 7 d, and then increased only slightly. The enzyme activity decreased to 88% after 7d and 60% after 14d. The glycated amino acid residue is not the N-terminal a-amino group but the s-amino group of lysine. It seems that lysine ...
