The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

Structure and Function of the Bacterial Heterodimeric ABC Transporter CydDC: Stimulation of the ATPase Activity by Thiol and Heme Compounds [PDF]
In Escherichia coli, the biogenesis of both cytochrome bd-type quinol oxidases and periplasmic cytochromes requires the ABC- type cysteine/glutathione (GSH) transporter, CydDC.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a lung disease of prematurely born infants, is characterized in part by arrested development of pulmonary alveolae. We hypothesized that heme oxygenase (HO-1) and its byproduct carbon monoxide (CO), which are thought to be cytoprotective against redox stress, mitigate lung injury and alveolar simplification in ...

Loss of the putative Rab GTPase, Ypt7, impairs the virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans
Small GTPases of the Rab family coordinate multiple membrane fusion and trafficking events in eukaryotes. In fungi, the Rab GTPase, Ypt7, plays a critical role in late endosomal trafficking, and is required for homotypic fusion events in vacuole ...

Heme a Biosynthesis and Trafficking in the Mitochondria
Heme is an essential molecule for many cellular functions. However, due to its labile state, tight regulation of its synthesis and trafficking is necessary to prevent the formation of harmful reactive oxygen species.

Iron: Biosynthesis and Significance of Heme
Heme exists as a prosthetic group in numerous enzymes and other hemeproteins, with which it is involved in oxygen transport and storage, electron transfer reactions, detoxification of xenobiotics, signal transduction, and transcriptional, translational ...

Sex trafficking in Nepal: context and process [PDF]
This study has developed a conceptual framework to provide a clearer understanding of the process and context of sex trafficking from Nepal. Quantitative data were analysed from case records of 202 sex-trafficked women at rehabilitation centres in Nepal.

Maturation of phagosomes containing different erythrophagocytic particles in primary macrophages
Erythrophagocytosis is a physiological process that aims to remove damaged red blood cells from the circulation in order to avoid hemolysis and uncontrolled liberation of iron. Many efforts have been made to understand heme trafficking inside macrophages,

Trafficking in Persons and Human Development: Towards A More Integrated Policy Response [PDF]
Poverty is often regarded as the "root cause" of trafficking, but the linkages between poverty, lack of development and trafficking are complex. For example, there is some evidence to suggest that victims of cross-border trafficking are more likely to ...
