serum iron and total iron binding capacity anti percentage saturation were measured in 100 apparently normal individuals (50 men and 50 women) , the ages of the men were from ?2• 50 and of the women from 19-30, average serum iron in men was i33amgjloo ml and in women 112.5mg/ 100 ml, the average values for total iron binding ca paci ty were 306,?mg/ for men and ?90mg/ 100 rnl, for women, percen...

after iron deficiency, zinc deficiency is the major micronutrient deficiency in developing countries, and staple food fortification is an effective strategy to prevent and improve it among at-risk-populations. no action has been taken to reduce zinc deficiency via flour fortification so far in iran, and little is known about the influence of zinc fortification of flour on serum zinc and the iro...

Parkinson disease is one of the neurodegenetive disease with a prevalence of about 1% in people older than 65.from a pathological point of view,degeneration of neuromelanin cells in pars compacta of substantia nigra has been established.the reason of degeneration is unknouwn.increase in iron concentration in substantia of parkinson,s patients has been established.the  increase of iron in this p...

we studied the prevalence of iron-deficiency anaemia in women of reproductive age, between 15 to 49, with a mean age of 31-56±1.34 years, attending mirzakoochak khan hospital ob. gyn. center for routine gynecological and obstetrical examination. we compa'tred mean values for the serum tests and haematological data and investigated etiological factors such as age, marital status, education, spou...

Background: It has been demonstrated that free oxygen radicals have a close interaction with lipid peroxidation, causing a modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and facilitating LDL deposition, with the consequent formation of atherosclerosis plaques. Free radical production is catalyzed and accelerated in the presence of iron. This study was conducted to evaluate the possible associ...

Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) as a surrogate marker for detecting early iron deficiency prior to definitive investigation and treatment. Materials and Methods: This study was done on one hundred students in Swada Preparatory School – Sharkia Governorate from 2010 to 2011. They were subdivided into three groups: Group (A): comprised of...

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...

Objective: To evaluate carnitine serum levels as a comorbidity in children with iron deficiency anemia. Patients and Methods: Fifty-four well nourished children (29 boys and 25 girls) with iron deficiency anemia were enrolled. Twenty-five healthy non-anemic ageand sexmatched children were included as a control group. For all anemic children and controls, we performed complete blood cell count, ...

a number of evidences suggest that during ischemic stroke, serum iron and hemoglobin (hb) levels are changed. yet, there are few reports in the literature related to this issue and resolution of this mechanism requires further experiments. the aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of serum iron and hemoglobin levels as a  biomarker in diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke....
