We found that transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), a major iron importer, is highly expressed in foamy macrophages and some smooth muscle cells in intimal lesions of human carotid atheroma, mainly in cytoplasmic accumulation patterns. In 52 human carotid atherosclerotic lesions, TfR1 expression was ...
These will be performed in order to test one’s levels of electrolytes and creatinine, and afull blood count (FBC)test will be carried out to detect infection and anemia. Tests will also be performed to establish one’s levels of nitrogen,bilirubin, transferrin vitamin B12 and folic acid. D...
Hemoglobin.This test shows the amount of this protein in your blood. If you have anemia, your hemoglobin will be low. Serum iron.This test shows how much iron is in your blood. Ferritin.This test shows how much iron is stored in your body by measuring this protein. Transferrin and total...

Nutrient deficiencies are common in people with celiac disease. Damage to the small intestines leads to poor absorption of fatty acids, transferrin, glucose, electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals (2). Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids are all micronutrients. They play a central role...
of CDG, is caused by mutations in theDPAGT1gene leading to disrupted neurotransmission, long-term muscle weakness, and multisystem breakdown [34].DPAGT1encodes UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-dolichol-phosphate-N-acetylglucosamine-phosphotransferase. Mass spectrometry analysis of serum transferrin from human ...

Transferrinis a protein that carries iron from one part of the body to another. The iron level of the blood can also be measured, signifying the amount of iron circulating in the blood (normal 50-150 micrograms per deciliter or one-tenth of a liter). ...
In patients with iron deficiency anemia, the serum iron and transferrin saturation are abnormally low; and in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis, the serum iron and transferrin saturation may be abnormally high. Consequently, if transferrin saturation is about 45% or higher, the presence of ...
Patients were assigned to one of two groups: iron-deficient or iron-replete. Iron deficiency was defined by a transferrin saturation (Tsat) ≤ 15% (17) and a ferritin level ≤15 μg/l. Viscosity measurement Venous blood for viscosity assessment was obtained in the early morning, preprandi...
