Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). This test tells how much transferrin (a protein) is free to carry iron through your blood. If your TIBC level is high, it means more transferrin is free because you have low iron. Unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC). This test measures how much tr...

Serum iron may be directly measured without protein precipitation, by incubation in an acetate buffer in the presence of a reducing agent and sulfonated bathophenanthro line. Mercaptoacetic and ascorbic acids have proved to be suitable reductants. Values obtained for serum iron by this procedure sho...
Iron homoeostasis is tightly regulated, with hepcidin and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) playing significant roles. However, the genetic determinants of these traits and the biomedical consequences of iron homoeostasis variation are unclear. In a meta-analysis of 12 cohorts involving 91,675 partic...
Finally, sections were washed with distilled water, dehydrated in ascending alcohols, cleared in xylene, and mounted. We performed the procedure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. As a positive control, a liver sample with hemochromatosis was used. 2.3. GEPIA Database Analysis GEPIA (...
molecular ones in PAD patients compared to healthy controls; (ii) most of this NTBI is bound to the serum protein Albumin; (iii) this NTBI-Albumin complex can be isolated and quantitated following a simple immunoisolation procedure amenable to automation and suitable for clinical screening ...
2.6. Determination of Antioxidant Indexes in Serum, Intestinal Tissue and Liver Serum CAT, GSH-Px, SOD, XOD, peroxidase, iron hydroxyl radical scavenger capacity, superoxide anion scavenging capacity, glutathione, GSSG, T-AOC, TIBC, ferritin, transferrin and ceruloplasmin concentration were determined ...
