Zinc Supplementation Combats Tuberculosis by Reverting Back to Normal Compartmentalized State of Iron and Hence Increasing Blood Hemoglobin Concentration [PDF]

Indian Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2023
Aim and background: To acquire iron (Fe), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) expresses high-affinity Fe+3-specific siderophores for scavenging Fe from host insoluble and protein-bound iron-like transferrin, lactoferrin, ferritin, and hemoglobin−haptoglobin.

Soluble transferrin receptors and ferritin index in the diagnosis of iron deficiency in patients with spondyloarthritis and anemia

Терапевтический архив, 2021
Aim. To assess the diagnostic value of the detection of soluble transferrin receptors (sTfR) and ferritin index (sTfR/log Fer) in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and anemia for the revealing absolute iron deficiency (ID).

The Role of Soluble Transferrin Receptor in Diagnostic Work Up for The Assessment of Iron Status and Iron Deficiency

Haematology Journal of Bangladesh, 2022
Background: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the most frequent form of anaemia in human population. For diagnosing IDA usually conventional laboratory tests such as serum iron, serum ferritin and transferrin saturation are used.

Two peptides targeting endothelial receptors are internalized into murine brain endothelial cells.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is one of the main obstacles for therapies targeting brain diseases. Most macromolecules fail to pass the tight BBB, formed by brain endothelial cells interlinked by tight junctions.

Effects of Moderate Consumption of Red Wine on Hepcidin Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Foods, 2022
Iron overload is often associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), indicating that hepcidin, the master regulator of iron homeostasis, might be involved in diabetes pathogenesis. Alcohol consumption may also result in increased body iron stores.

Regulation of cell surface transferrin receptor-2 by iron-dependent cleavage and release of a soluble form

Haematologica, 2015
Transferrin receptor-2 is a transmembrane protein whose expression is restricted to hepatocytes and erythroid cells. Transferrin receptor-2 has a regulatory function in iron homeostasis, since its inactivation causes systemic iron overload.
