The human literature suggests a role for iron in cognitive functioning of reproductive age women but the underlying changes in neurophysiology are poorly understood. Studies of iron-deficient (ID) children show differences in recognition memory, auditory processing, eye movements, and EEG frontal ...
A period of severe early iron deficiency (birth to 28 days of age) produced a persistent deficit (22%) in brain non-heme iron in adult rehabilitated animals. Long-term effects on behavior and physiological responsiveness were also observed. Although rehabilitated and control animals did not differ...
Results: The risk of any infection or of specific types of infections was not increased by iron deficiency. Regarding the DUKE health profile, no specific score was significantly different between the two groups: only the scores reflecting 'physical health' (P=0.09) and 'perceived health' (P=...
L. KEEN. Behavioral consequences of marginal iron deficiency during development in a murine model. NEUROTOXICOL TERATOL 21(6) 661–672, 1999.—Marginal iron deficiency is a common nutritional disorder in human populations world-wide; however, the neurobehavioral effects of chronic marginal iron (Fe)...
Pica is a behavioural manifestation of iron deficiency and presents withgeophagia (eating dirt) and pagophagia (eating ice). Pica generallyresolves with the correction of the iron deficiency. Pica places the child at risk for lead poisoning, which may compound the diagnosis of microcytic anemia....
Influence of iron deficiency anaemia on haemoglobin A2 levels: possible consequences for beta-thalassaemia screening. Scand J Clin Lab Invest. 1999; 59(1):65-70.HARTHOORN-LASTHUIZEN E J, LINDEMANS J,LANGENHUIJSEN M M. Influence of iron deficiency anaemia on haemoglobin A2 levels: possible ...
The roles of hepcidin, ferroportin and transferrin receptors have also been clarified. These findings have led to the development of new diagnostic tools. However, the place of these tools in the diagnostic strategy of iron deficiency is not yet defined. The objective of this article is to ...
What might be the environmental consequences if a significant amount of surfactant were to get into a pond? What are the effects of iron deficiency in the human body? Explain the effects of radiotherapy on breast cancer and the side effects that may occur. ...
Iron is of fundamental importance to the growth, development and well-being of almost all living organisms. Multiple biological systems have evolved for the uptake, utilisation, storage and homeostasis of iron in microbes, plants and mammals. Both iron deficiency and iron overload are found extensiv...
The Suf system comprises different proteins to the Fe–S cluster synthesis (Isc) system, and the activity of the Suf system is more resistant than that of the Isc system to chemical stress and iron deficiency. SOS system The global response to DNA damage that is exhibited by many bacteria....
