This is the fifth in the series of reviews developed as part of the Biomarkers of Nutrition for
Development (BOND) program. The BOND Iron Expert Panel (I-EP) reviewed the extant …

Iron transport in the plasma is carried out by transferrin, which donates iron to cells through
its interaction with a specific membrane receptor, the transferrin receptor (TfR). A soluble …

This is a comprehensive text on the methods-dietary, anthropometric, laboratory and clinical-
of assessing the nutritional status of populations and of individuals in the hospital or the …

In the new edition of this successful and authoritative book, the thalassaemias are reviewed

Background. The mechanisms by which testosterone increases hemoglobin and hematocrit
remain unclear. Methods. We assessed the hormonal and hematologic responses to …

The objective of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of laboratory tests,
including serum transferrin receptor (TfR) measurements, in the diagnosis of iron depletion …

Functional iron deficiency (FID) is a state in which there is insufficient iron incorporation into
erythroid precursors in the face of apparently adequate body iron stores, as defined by the …

Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) and ferritin concentrations were measured in a variety of
clinical settings to compare the ability of these two tests to identify iron deficiency. Among 62 …

Iron is a crucial factor for life. However, it also has the potential to cause the formation of
noxious free radicals. These double-edged sword characteristics demand a tight regulation …

Objectives: This study sought to understand the prevalence and clinical relevance of iron
deficiency in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Background …
