TLDR
Iron has the capacity to accept and donate electrons readily, interconverting between ferric (Fe2+) and ferrous (Fe3+) forms, which makes it a useful component of cytochromes, oxygen-binding molecules, and many enzymes.

Off–on BODIPY-based chemosensors for selective detection of Al3+ and Cr3+ versus Fe3+ in aqueous media

TL;DR: Two new off–on BODIPY-based chemosensors that are highly sensitive for trivalent cations in aqueous solutions are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cutoff value of serum ferritin for the diagnosis of iron deficiency in community-residing older persons

TL;DR: For the diagnosis of iron deficiency of community-residing older adults, the serum ferritin cutoff value of 22 μg/L obtained by use of the sTfR-F index is suggested, lower than the previous value established for hospitalized and anemic older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iron Deficiency Parameters in Children and Adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

TL;DR: This current study is the first to compare serum ferritin levels in ADHD-Rest with other presentations of ADHD, and included the largest number of patients that were classified by ADHD presentations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iron deficiency in heart failure.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the current state of the art in the pathophysiology of iron deficiency, associations with heart failure trajectory and outcome, and an overview of current guideline-suggested treatment options.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coordination of hypoxia adaptation and iron homeostasis in human pathogenic fungi

TL;DR: Both oxygen and iron availability are intimately tied with fungal virulence and responses to existing therapeutics and further elucidation of their interrelationship should have significant clinical implications.

A novel MHC class-I-like gene is mutated in patients with hereditary haemochromatosis

John N. Feder
- 01 Jan 1996 - 
TL;DR: Using linkage–disequilibrium and full haplotype analysis, a region more than 3 megabases telomeric of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) that is identical–by–descent in 85% of patient chromosomes is identified, containing a gene related to the MHC class I family, termed HLA–H, containing two missense alterations.

Cloning and characterization of a mammalian proton-coupled metal-ion transporter

TL;DR: A new metal-ion transporter in the rat, DCT1, which has an unusually broad substrate range that includes Fe2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+.

Prevalence of Iron Deficiency in the United States

TL;DR: Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are still relatively common in toddlers, adolescent girls, and women of childbearing age and were more likely in those who are minority, low income, and multiparous.

Microcytic anaemia mice have a mutation in Nramp2, a candidate iron transporter gene.

TL;DR: A positional cloning strategy is undertaken to identify the causative mutation in mice with microcytic anaemia, and it is suggested that the phenotype is a consequence of a missense mutation in Nramp2 (ref. 5), a previously identified gene of unknown function.
