transferrin by iron-binding capacity
نویسنده
چکیده
SYNOPSIS Two criteria which ought to be satisfied by an acceptable method for the estimation of serum transferrin by iron-binding capacity are enunciated. A screening procedure is described which involves the sequential quantitative use of ion exchange and gel filtration. Its use in testing the extent to which two published methods fulfil the recommended criteria is described. Both methods give results for total iron-binding capacity which are 1-10% high because of the inclusion of non-trans-

Investigating Changes in the Serum Iron, TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) and Transferrin Levels in Patients with Morbid Obesity Undergoing Bariatric Surgery in Kerman in 2018: A Short Report
Background and Objectives: Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective treatments for obesity. This study was designed to investigate changes in the serum iron, TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) and transferrin levels in patients with morbid obesity undergoing bariatric surgery in Kerman in 2018. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was carried out on 65 participants who had gone ...
متن کاملStudy of Nonenzymatic Glycation of Transferrin and its Effect on Iron -Binding Antioxidant Capacity
Objective(s) Nonenzymatic glycosylation (glycation) occurs in many macromolecules in aging and diabetes due to exposure of biomolecules to high level of glucose. Glycation can changes function, activities and structure of many biomolecules. Considering this important role of transferrin (Trf) in iron transport and antioxidant activity in plasma this study was carried out to investigate the eff...
متن کاملManganese and Iron Binding to Human Transferrin
The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...

متن کاملStudy of the Binding of Iron and Indium to Human Serum Apo-Transferrin
Indium is a heavy metal belonging to group IIIa. It is believed that indium may interfere with iron metabolism from the sites of absorption, transportation, utilization and storage in the cells. The present investigation was established to study and compare the binding of iron and indium to human apo-transferrin (apo-tf). Pure human apo-tf was used and the binding activity of iron and indium, a...
متن کاملIdentification of Amino Acids Involve in Indium Binding To Serum Human Apo-Transferrin
Indium is a heavy metal belonging to group IIIa. It is used as a radioimaging and chemotherapeutic agent in diagnosis and also in the treatment of cancers. It is believed that indium may interfere with iron metabolism and reduce cell growth in cancer tissue. The present report was established to study the binding of iron and indium to apo-transferrin (apo-tf) and to identify amino acids involv...
