In the light of these findings, the behavior of transgenic plants overexpressing ferritin with regard to iron and heavy-metal loading under various soil conditions should be addressed in future ...

That is, in the absence of a ferroxidase, Fe(II) does not get exported through ferroportin and accumulates in the cytosolic iron-storage molecule ferritin. Figure 4: Endocytosis of the complex of ...

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron for your body. Iron is a mineral needed to make hemoglobin—a protein in red blood ...

Abdallah, a SUNY Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at SUNY Potsdam, has been awarded a $600,000 grant from the National ...

Iron deficiency can affect anybody, although some of us may be more susceptible to it than others. Heavy periods are one of the main causes of iron deficiency in menstruating women, as are pregnancies ...

In addition, the ferritin level is raised by inflammation of the liver (as seen after high alcohol intake), which can mask the decrease in ferritin that occurs with iron deficiency. The accurate ...
