Transferrin receptor (TR) performs the major function of binding and internalizing its specific iron-loaded ligand, transferrin, and its expression is closely linked to the proliferation status of the cell. This study was undertaken to elucidate TR expression in the hyperplastic lesion of hepatocyte in chemically induced hepatic carcinogenesis. The resistant hepatocyte model was chosen for a ra...

ABSTRACT We investigate mantle stripping giant impacts (GI) between super-Earths with masses 1 and $20\, {\rm M}_{\oplus }$. infer new scaling laws for the mass of largest fragment its iron fraction, as well updated fitting coefficients critical specific impact energy catastrophic disruption, $Q_{{\rm RD}}^{*}$. With these laws, we derive equations that relate conditions, i.e. target mass, velo...

The uptake of iron by the absorptive cells of the duodenum, and its subsequent transfer to the lamina propria, has been studied using “Fe and high-resolution radioautography in mice rendered iron deficient by diet, in mice with dietary iron overload, and in mice with hereditary malabsorption of iron (s/a). In all, as in normally iron replete mice, two phases of iron absorption can be distinguis...

Agricultural drainage water continues to impact watersheds and their receiving water bodies. One approach to mitigate this problem is to use surrounding natural wetlands. Our objectives were to determine the effect of iron (Fe)-rich groundwater on phosphorus (P) removal and nutrient absorption by the utilization of the iron plaque on the root surface of Glyceria spiculosa (Fr. Schmidt.) Rosh. T...

The mineral compositions of the 8 wild edible fruits were investigated. Nitrogen, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus were analyzed as the major constituents of the fruits and iron, zinc, copper and manganese were identified as a minor constituent. Among all the mineral, Potassium were found in large quantity in all fruits. Ficus racemosa L., fruit contain the highest amount of...

You can definitely find iron in foods other than spinach, that's for sure! Animal sources of iron include liver, kidneys, red meat, poultry, seafood (especially oysters and clams), and eggs. A few good plant sources of iron include peas, beans, nuts, leafy green vegetables (especially spinach), enriched pastas and breads, and fortified cereals. More specifically, MD, to satisfy your iron needs ...
