Iron deficiency induces several responses to iron shortage in plants. Metabolic changes occur to sustain the increased iron uptake capacity of Fe-deficient plants. We evaluated the metabolic changes of three Prunus rootstocks submitted to iron chlorosis and their different responses for tolerance using measurements of metabolites and enzymatic activities. The more tolerant rootstocks Adesoto (P...

To address the problem of iron-deficiency anemia, one of the most prevalent human micronutrient deficiencies globally, iron-biofortified rice was produced using three transgenic approaches: by enhancing iron storage in grains via expression of the iron storage protein ferritin using endosperm-specific promoters, enhancing iron translocation through overproduction of the natural metal chelator n...

Iron limitation may cause bacterial pathogens to grow more slowly; however, it may also stimulate these microorganisms to produce greater tissue damage, given that many virulence factors are controlled by the iron supply in the environment. The present study investigated the influence of low iron availability on the expression of proteins and surface sugar residues of two toxigenic strains of C...

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) versus iron sucrose in post-partum women with iron-deficiency anemia (IDA). Methods: This a hospital-based prospective randomized controlled study, comprising 100 post-natal IDA hemoglobin level <11 g/dL admitted ward the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department SP Medical College, Bikaner, from June 2...

Objectives: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common nutritional among pregnant women in India. can be supplemented orally or intravenously to treat IDA. Intravenous supplementation of iron risky as there more possibility for production free circulation. The role generation radicals and thereby oxidative stress well known. present study tends evaluate antioxidant status intravenous sucro...

Structure and Chemistry All intravenous (IV) iron agents are colloids that consist of spheroidal iron-carbohydrate nanoparticles. At the core of each particle is an iron-oxyhydroxide gel. The core is surrounded by a shell of carbohydrate that stabilizes the iron-oxyhydroxide, slows the release of bioactive iron, and maintains the resulting particles in colloidal suspension. IV iron agents share...
