Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) has enabled magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
of tissue magnetic susceptibility to advance from simple qualitative detection of hypointense …

Background Serum ferritin concentrations are the most widely used indicator for iron
deficiency. WHO determined that insufficient data are available to revise the serum ferritin …

Background: After the oral administration of iron, the production of circulating non–transferrin-
bound iron may contribute to an increased risk of illness in malaria-endemic areas that lack …

Iron is an essential bioelement in human physiology. It has key roles in cellular respiration:
facilitating the formation of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), oxygen transport through iron …

BACKGROUND Repeated blood donation alters the iron balance of blood donors. We
quantified these effects by analyzing changes in body iron as well as calculating iron …

Oral iron promotes intestinal tumourigenesis in animal models. In humans, expression of
iron transport proteins are altered in colorectal cancer. This study examined whether the …

Background Current WHO serum ferritin (SF) thresholds for iron deficiency (ID) in children (<
12 μg/L) and women (< 15 μg/L) are derived from expert opinion based on radiometric …

Our objective is to develop a physiologically based method to determine serum ferritin
thresholds for iron deficiency in healthy individuals. The current World Health Organization …

Objective Anemia is common in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). This study aimed to
examine the frequency of iron deficiency anemia in patients with CHF. We investigated the …

Iron deficiency remains a public health challenge globally. Prebiotics have the potential to
improve iron bioavailability by modulating intestinal bacterial population, increasing SCFA …
