Serum ferritin concentration and iron stores in normal subjects.
The relationship between serum ferritin concentration and the amount of storage iron has been studied in normal subjects. A high degree of correlation was demonstrated between serum ferritin concentration and storage iron measured by quantitative phlebotomy. The possible advantages of assessing iron stores by using the serum ferritin concentration are discussed.
متن کاملEffects of phlebotomy-induced reduction of body iron stores on metabolic syndrome: results from a randomized clinical trial
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (METS) is an increasingly prevalent but poorly understood clinical condition characterized by insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. Increased oxidative stress catalyzed by accumulation of iron in excess of physiologic requirements has been implicated in the pathogenesis of METS, but the relationships between cause and eff...
متن کاملUtility of serum ferritin as a measure of iron deficiency in normal males undergoing repetitive phlebotomy.
Hematologic indices and iron balance data were obtained on 22 normal male volunteers who were subjected to a mean +/- SD phlebotomy of 164 +/- 34 ml whole blood/mo while living in a controlled environment. Over an average stay of 5 mo, volunteers did not develop anemia, but did display a reduction in iron stores that was quantitated by measurement of serum ferritin and iron balance. The percent...
متن کاملSerum transferrin receptor: a quantitative measure of tissue iron deficiency.
This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of serum transferrin receptor measurements in the assessment of iron status. Repeated phlebotomies were performed in 14 normal volunteer subjects to obtain varying degrees of iron deficiency. Serial measurements of serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, mean cell volume (MCV), free erythrocyte protoporphyrin (FEP), red cell mean index, serum ferr...
متن کاملResponse of various indices of iron status to acute iron depletion produced in menstruating women by low iron intake and phlebotomy.
We investigated response sensitivities of indices of iron status to controlled iron depletion and repletion in 11 premenopausal women. The women were depleted of storage iron (as reflected by serum ferritin) through a combination of a low-iron diet and phlebotomy. They then consumed a diet containing 13.7 mg of iron per 2000 kcal, supplemented with either ascorbic acid or placebo (for 5 1/2 wee...
