Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of organic acids, phytates and polyphenols on the absorption of iron from vegetables.
M Gillooly,Thomas H. Bothwell,J. D. Torrance,A P MacPhail,D. P. Derman,Werner R. Bezwoda,W. Mills,R. W. Charlton,F. Mayet +8 more
TL;DR: The major relevance of these findings is the fact that the total absorption of non-haem-Fe from a mixed diet may be profoundly influenced by the presence of single vegetables with either marked enhancing or inhibiting effects on Fe bioavailability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The quantitative estimation of total iron stores in human bone marrow
TL;DR: How much iron is normally stored in the reticulo-endothelial cells of the bone marrow is found and the extent to which these stores can expand when iron overload is present is defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

M Gillooly,Thomas H. Bothwell,R. W. Charlton,J. D. Torrance,Werner R. Bezwoda,A P MacPhail,D. P. Derman,L. Novelli,P. Morrall,F. Mayet +9 more
TL;DR: Non-haem-iron absorption from a variety of cereal and fibre meals was measured in parous Indian women, using the erythrocyte utilization of radioactive Fe method to establish whether alteration of the phytate and polyphenol contents of sorghum affected Fe absorption from Sorghum meals, and to assess the influence of fibre on Fe absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of fruit juices and fruits on the absorption of iron from a rice meal.
Daynia E Ballot,R. D. Baynes,Thomas H. Bothwell,M Gillooly,B. J. Macfarlane,A P MacPhail,Gillian Lyons,D. P. Derman,Werner R. Bezwoda,J. D. Torrance +9 more
TL;DR: The effects of the chemical composition of fruit juices and fruit on the absorption of iron from a rice (Oryza sativa) meal were measured in 234 parous Indian women, using the erythrocyte utilization of radioactive Fe method.
