TL;DR: Reduction of Fe(III) within the lumen or at the cell surface is required for transfer of this essential micronutrient across the intestinal brush border surface to examine the importance of reduction of nonheme ferric iron for transport across the brushborder surface.

TL;DR: The inhibitory influence of IP3-IP6 on the uptake and transport of Fe and Zn is demonstrated and the usefulness of the Caco-2 human cell line is supported as an appropriate model for evaluating the effects of specific dietary factors on trace metal bioavailability.

TL;DR: The stimulatory influence of ascorbic acid on Fe uptake from solutions containing IP6 was associated with an increase in the level of ferrous ion, which further support the usefulness of Caco-2 cells as a model for investigating the effects of various dietary factors on mineral bioavailability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the bioavailability of iron in Fephytate and Ca 3 FEPHYTATE and zinc in Zn 2 phytate and Zn 3 Phytate was assayed in rats and the femur bone zinc response to both complexes was significantly less than to ZnSO 4.

TL;DR: The postpartum LACT and PPNL women had a reduced urinary excretion of calcium and there was a significantly greater incorporation by LACT women of the oral isotope dose into milk than into urine.
