BACKGROUND There is a need to determine whether iron absorption from iron amino acid chelates is protected from inhibition by dietary phytate and regulated normally by iron status. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare iron absorption from ferrous sulfate, ferrous bisglycinate, and ferric trisglycinate in whole-maize meal; to determine whether iron from ferrous bisglycinate and...

BACKGROUND Prepared sprouts, after culturing in a medium with an increased iron concentration, could become a beneficial food iron fortificant. However, the efficient iron accumulation depends on the plants genus, species and/or varieties. The aim of the study was to indicate the seeds or grains which accumulate iron most efficiently during the sprouting process. METHODS Alfalfa, lentil, lupi...

This study evaluated the color fastness and crust quality of eco-printed leather using various types mordant in natural dye mangrove extract. used 20 sheepskin crusts bark experimental employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with different as treatments. The were Aluminum Sulfate (Al2(SO4)3), Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), Citric Acid (C6H8O7), Ferrous (FeSO4). results showed that use (FeSO4)...

Many soil amendments are used to remediate paddy soils polluted with heavy metals, including arsenic (As) and lead (Pb). This study was conducted assess the efficacy of three inorganic amendments, such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3), sulfate (CaSO4), ferrous (FeSO4), on As Pb co-contaminated soils. The were applied alone and/or in combinations compare theirs for stabilization rice growth. In addi...

Two cDNA clones exclusively induced under an extremely high-CO2 concentration (20%) were isolated from Chlorococcum littorale by differential screening and named HCR (high-CO2 response) 1 and 2, respectively. The amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by HCR2 exhibited homology to the gp91-phox protein, a critical component of a human phagocyte oxidoreductase, and to the yeast ferric reduct...

Iron and copper, the essential trace elements accomplish their numerous relevant metabolic functions appropriately in the body. Hepcidin, ferroportin-1 and transferrin are associated with iron metabolism and their expression can be affected under different physiological or pathological conditions. The aim of the current study was to investigate the changes in hepatic gene expression of these ir...

Patients with celiac disease (CD) frequently suffer from iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and may benefit from iron supplementation. However, intolerance to iron sulfate and duodenal atrophy could reduce the efficacy of this supplementation. This study evaluated the efficacy of a new sucrosomial iron formulation in patients with CD. Consecutive patients with CD and IDA were divided into two groups:...

In-situ remediation of the Cr(VI) contaminated clayey soil remains challenging due to low hydraulic conductivity and high ion adsorption capacity clays. In this study, injection tests ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) for a with hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) were performed explore feasibility FeSO4 solution under different pressures. The results show that pressure 30 kPa, 70 100 kPa caused conductivities...

Imbalance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) is an important control point in tissue remodelling. Several findings have reported a marked MMP/TIMP imbalance in a variety of in vitro models in which oxidative stress was induced. Since previous studies showed that commercial hyaluronan and chondroitin-4-sulphate are able to limit lip...
