objective: some data are available on the association between components of the insulin resistance syndrome and serum ferritin. insulin resistance is observed in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) we hypothesize that body iron stores might be increased in these women. materials and methods: two hundred and six people (103 pcos patients and 103 healthy women who were matched for age)...

backgrounds and aims: thyroid hormones have a crucial physiological role to maintain balance of metabolism of body. thyroid hormones have an important role in metabolism and proliferation of blood cells. thyroid gland also has a vital influence on erythropoiesis by induction of erythropoietin secretion and proliferation of erythroid progenitors. in the present study, it was tried to evaluate th...

By MARCEL E. CONRAD, LEWIS R. WEINTRAUB AND WILLIAM H. CROSBY T HE QUANTITY of iron present in the body is regulated by a balance between iron absorption and loss.15 Iron-deficient and iron-loaded animals and humans attempt to re-establish a normal body store of iron by regulating absorption16 and a limited but selective loss of body iron.58 The hemolytic states are unusual in that increased ab...

Iron is an intracellular element whose accumulation in the body is associated with tissue damage. This study examines the effect of iron on pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its "response to treatment." At the end of the first year of treatment, bone marrow iron store (BMIS) was evaluated in children with ALL and the relationship between iron store and minimal residual disease wa...

When hemoglobin is set free in the circulation the kidney plays an important part in the conservation of iron. When the renal threshold is not exceeded by the hemoglobin in the blood there is little or no excess iron deposited in the kidney but when superthreshold doses of blood hemoglobin are given the epithelium of the convoluted tubules accumulates much iron and the iron analyses may show 5 ...

background: iron deficiency anemia is one of the important problems during pregnancy.  iron deficiency has several adverse effects on pregnant women and their newborns.   objective: to determine the status of iron store in newborns born to mothers with iron deficiency anemia.   methods: in a cross-sectional study, 90 mothers were categorized into three groups according to their pre-delivery hem...

OBJECTIVE To observe the different impacts of electrolytic iron, FeSO4, and NaFeEDTA on body iron store of anemic school students. METHODS Four hundreds anemic students at the age of 11-18 years were divided into four groups. Of which, three consumed different iron fortificants from wheat flour as food vehicle for six months and one consumed non-fortified flour (control). The fortification le...
