BACKGROUND Some pregnant women discontinue iron supplements consumption due to Gastrointestinal (GI) complications, whereas pregnancy induces the same complications physiologically. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to assess GI complications of ferrous sulfate in pregnant women. PATIENTS AND METHODS This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed on...

Ferrous fumarate (Fersamal) and ferrous carbonate (Ferrodic) may produce false-positive results with the orthotolidine tablet tests (Occultest and Hematest) if administered to patients being investigated for alimentary bleeding. Misleading results are also likely if the benzidine test is employed as a filter-paper procedure. Ferrous sulphate, gluconate, succinate, iron and ammonium citrate, and...

OBJECTIVE Ferrous iron is a major source inducing oxidative stress after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Divalent metal transporter1 (DMT1) is the important and well-known plasma membrane transport protein which was proved to be involved in the transport of free ferrous iron in mammals. Ferroportin 1 (FPN1) is the unique exporter of ferrous iron from mammalian cells. The role of DMT1 and FPN1 i...

This study deals with bioleaching of the low grade uranium ore of Saghand mine in Iran using a mixed culture of mesophilic bacteria (Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans). Experiments were carried out in shaking flask examining the effect of temperature, initial ferrous ion concentration, pulp density and particle size. Variations of ...

Effect of inorganic phosphate on ferrous ionand ascorbate-induced lipid. peroxidations of isolated rat liver mitochondria was investigated. As a result it has been shown that phosphate accelerates the ferrous ion.induced lipid peroxidation; namely, phos. phate shortens the induction lag period of the lipid peroxidation reaction but the malondialdehyde after onset of its production is yielded at...

OBJECTIVE Iron therapy may reinforce intestinal inflammation by catalysing production of reactive oxygen species. The effects of oral ferrous fumarate and intravenous iron sucrose on clinical disease activity and plasma redox status were investigated in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). MATERIAL AND METHODS Nineteen patients with iron deficiency anaemia and Crohn's disease (11) ...

Background: Iron deficiency anaemia in women of reproductive age group is a major health problem in India. Objective: The present study was designed to compare the efficacy, tolerability, and cost, of three oral iron preparations among the anaemic pregnant women (n=6o) of gestation (12-24 weeks). Methodology: The patients were divided into 3 groups (n=20) and treated with ferrous fumarate(100mg...

Mechanisms of superoxide.O2--generating systems on the pro-oxidant effect of iron from various sources were studied. Reaction mixtures were prepared with distilled water, oil emulsion, or meat homogenates. Free ionic iron (ferrous and ferric), ferritin and hemoglobin (Hb) were used as iron sources, and KO2 and xanthine oxidase (XOD) systems were used to produce .O2-. Thiobarbituric acid reactiv...

ABSTRACT: The human skin encompasses a characteristic capacity to advance the self-regeneration after harm; this can be compromised beneath particular conditions, like extensive loss, constant wounds, deep burns, non-healing ulcers and diabetes. Improper healing lead wound enter in state, which increments chance of disease chronic state; it affects patient health his/her quality life. Due growi...
