The divalent metal ion transporter DMT1 is critical for nonheme iron import. We have previously shown that DMT1 is regulated in vitro by ubiquitination that is facilitated by the adaptor proteins Ndfip1 and Ndfip2. Here we report that in Ndfip1(-/-) mice fed a low- iron diet, DMT1 expression and activity in duodenal enterocytes are significant higher than in the wild-type animals. This correlat...

trichuriasis is an intestinal parasitic disease which is caused by trichuris trichiura, a soil transmitted helminth. in order to evaluate the iron status of trichuriasis in patients a total of 120 (49 males and 71 females) cases with trichuris trichiura as well as 54 healthy individuals were evaluated. blood samples were analyzed for serum iron, transferrin saturation percent, haemoglobin and o...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different amounts of hydrogen peroxide and iron resources in refining petroleum (kerosene) contaminated soils using fenton reaction. for this, ten complex soil samples around tehran oil refinery were collected and after preparations were contaminated with two levels of 10 and 20% of petroleum (kerosene) in triplicate. after reaching equilib...

When sewage sludge is applied to arable land, linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is released into the environment. In soils, LAS has been shown to impede microbial processes, such as bacterial iron reduction. The aim of the present study was to quantify LAS adsorption and desorption to agricultural soils and iron oxides and relate this to the inhibition of microbial iron reduction. Two agricul...

BACKGROUND Pregnant women in Malawi consume soil, but the nutritive potential of these soils is uncertain. METHODS We collected 'edible' Malawian soil samples from Ndirande, Mpingwe and Soche hills and bought an Indian soil sample from a shop in Limbe and tested them for iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium, lead, pH, Bacillus and Clostridium, using standard methods of analyses. FINDINGS Based on...

The performance of high-resolution CZE for determination of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) in human serum based on internal and external quality data gathered over a 10-year period is reported. The assay comprises mixing of serum with a Fe(III) ion-containing solution prior to analysis of the iron saturated mixture in a dynamically double-coated capillary using a commercial buffer at ...

Abstract Aim Treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in patients undergoing colon cancer resection improves outcome defined by length stay, recurrence, and requirement for blood transfusions. Method Retrospective analysis with colonic between January 2018 - August 2019. Anaemia categorised as – Iron Deficiency non- anaemia. IDA was hypochromic microcytic Patient demographics, tumour location, pre-...
