Identification of an iron–hepcidin complex [PDF]
Following its identification as a liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide, the hepcidin peptide was later shown to be a key player in iron homoeostasis. It is now proposed to be the 'iron hormone' which, by interacting with the iron transporter ferroportin,

Monitoring of iron deficiency in calves by determination of serum ferritin in comparison with serum iron: A preliminary study [PDF]
Background: Iron deficiency can cause anemia in calves and is therefore of economic importance for the cattle industry. Low iron levels are commonly caused by feeding whole milk without the addition of dietary supplements and led to the most frequent ...

When is a serum iron really a serum iron? The status of serum iron measurements
Abstract Although serum iron determinations play an important role in the diagnostic process, the accuracy of routine methods is suspect. The poor performance of currently used methods is well documented in the quarterly College of American Pathologists survey reports.

Abstract 1. A sensitive, reproducible method for serum iron determination has been developed employing extraction of serum acid hydrolysate with isoamyl alcohol and development of a highly colored ferrous complex of 4,7-diphenyl-1, 1O-phenanthroline for quantitative photometric measurement of iron. 2. The method gives good
