Transferrin is the major iron-transport protein, carrying 60% to 70% of the body's iron. For this reason, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) and transferrin are sometimes referred to interchangeably, even though other proteins carry iron and contribute to the TIBC. Unbound iron is highly ...
transferrin saturationwomenSerum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) were determined in a population sample of 1462 women in age strata between 38 and 60. Serum iron and TIBC values were similar in the various ages studied but with a slight trend towards higher serum iron and lower ...
SERUM IRON CONCENTRATION (SI) AND TRANSFERRIN SATURATION (SAT) ARE LOWER IN NORMAL CHILDREN THAN IN ADULTSPediatric Research publishes original papers, invited reviews, and commentaries on the etiologies of diseases of children and disorders of development, extending from molecular biology to epidemiology...
The degree of iron saturation of LF did not influence PBMC response; however, APOTF had a greater influence than FETF. Reduced PBMC response at low levels of LF indicate that hyporesponsiveness is not due solely to an increased protein content of the culture but may be the result of ...
” They include tests for serum ferritin, iron,transferrin, or total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrinsaturation.Iron is a key component of haemoglobin in red blood cells,myoglobin in muscle, and many metalloproteins and enzymes.It is essential for uptake of oxygen and its delivery ...
The present investigation was motivated from the consideration that a environment rich in iron, represented by high saturation (TS) and high serum iron and serum levels might offer favorable growth conditions for leukemic cells in addition to , thus affecting survival. Serum measurements were obtained...

Summary. The effect of different forms of iron and iron-binding proteins on the proliferative response of human lymphocytes to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) has been studied. Transferrin enhanced proliferation, the effect being proportional to the degree of iron saturation up to 100%, but decreased if ...
Iron accumulation and iron balance dysregulation are observed in animal models of retinal degeneration. Recently, we observed iron overload in ocular fluids from retinal detachment patients and highly transferrin saturation. As therapeutic strategy, we used transferrin (TF), the physiological iron ...
