EVALUATION OF IRON ACCUMULATION DURING CHILDHOOD CANCER TREATMENT [PDF]
Hematology, Transfusion and Cell TherapyObjective: Iron overload is a major concern in pediatric oncology, particularly with frequent blood transfusions. Although serum ferritin levels are commonly used as a marker, cardiac and hepatic T2* MRI is the gold standard for accurate assessment. This

Association between serum ferritin and uric acid levels and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the Chinese population [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing worldwide. Accumulating evidence suggests that serum ferritin and uric acid (UA) are strongly associated with the risk of NAFLD, but no consensus has been reached ...

Mitochondrial Ferritin: Its Role in Physiological and Pathological Conditions
Cells, 2021 In 2001, a new type of human ferritin was identified by searching for homologous sequences to H-ferritin in the human genome. After the demonstration that this ferritin is located specifically in the mitochondrion, it was called mitochondrial ferritin ...

H-Ferritin Is Preferentially Incorporated by Human Erythroid Cells through Transferrin Receptor 1 in a Threshold-Dependent Manner. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ferritin is an iron-storage protein composed of different ratios of 24 light (L) and heavy (H) subunits. The serum level of ferritin is a clinical marker of the body's iron level.

the hyphal-associated adhesin and invasin Als3 of Candida albicans mediates iron acquisition from host ferritin. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2008 Iron sequestration by host iron-binding proteins is an important mechanism of resistance to microbial infections. Inside oral epithelial cells, iron is stored within ferritin, and is therefore not usually accessible to pathogenic microbes.
