Dietary and prophylactic iron supplements
Human Nature, 1990Mild hypoferremia represents an aspect of the ability of the body to withhold iron from pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, and from neoplastic cells. However, our iron-withholding defense system can be thwarted by practices that enhance iron overload such as indiscriminate iron fortification of foods, medically prescribed iron supplements ...

Iron deficiency and dietary factors in Finland
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1975In connection with a multiphasic screening program carried out in Finland, over 7,000 persons participated in a dietary survey. The method was a diet history interview concerning food consumption and habits during the previous year. The mean intake of meat products was lower in anemic women (Hb less than 12.0 g/100 ml or PCV less than 36 vol%) than in

Iron Metabolism in Infants II. Absorption of Dietary Iron
Acta Paediatrica, 1954Summary and ConclusionsThirty‐seven alimentary iron balances on 19 infants between the ages of 15 days and 9 months show that these subjects ingest an average of 0.37 mg of iron per day per kg, of which they retain an average of 0.19 mg, i.e. 53%. Within the limits of the amounts used in these experiments, the retention was shown to be approximately ...

An Iron-Regulated Ferric Reductase Associated with the Absorption of Dietary Iron
Science, 2001The ability of intestinal mucosa to absorb dietary ferric iron is attributed to the presence of a brush-border membrane reductase activity that displays adaptive responses to iron status. We have isolated a complementary DNA, Dcytb (for duodenal cytochrome b), which encoded a putative plasma membrane di-heme protein in mouse duodenal ...

Dietary iron and colorectal cancer risk
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 1992Intestinal exposure to ingested iron may be a principal determinant of human colorectal cancer risk. Evidence exists associating iron with both the initiating and promoting phases of carcinogenesis as well as somatic defenses against early cancers through hypoferremia (progression or proliferation).

TCDD, dietary iron and hepatic iron distribution in female rats
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 19872,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a prototype for a large group of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, and is the most potent of these compounds. It is an unwanted by-product in the manufacture of some groups of herbicides as 2,4,5trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and occurs during the incineration of some types of municipal wastes.

Manifestation of iron deficiency at various levels of dietary iron intake
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1980The purpose of this study was to determine the interrelationships between iron stores, serum iron, hemoglobin, myoglobin, and cytochrome c under conditions of iron deficiency that did not interfere with normal growth. Rats were given diets containing from 7 to 500 mg iron per kilogram of diet during a period of 3 weeks of rapid growth between weaning ...

Iron absorption by rats from nonprescription dietary iron supplements
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 1978Absorption of iron from seven nonprescription dietary iron supplements was measured in both iron-replete and iron-depleted rats by use of the extrinsic label technique. Both ferrous and ferric forms of the radioactive extrinsic tracer iron were used; the iron was in the form of 59FeS04, 59FeC13, or ferr~us-~~Fe gluconate.
