Iron Metabolism and Iron Deficiency Anemia – A Comprehensive Review of Absorption, Transport, and Regulation (2024) A. K. Sharma

Description

Detailed analysis of total body iron distribution, including functional (Hb, Myoglobin) and storage forms (Ferritin, Hemosiderin). Explores dietary sources, the differential absorption mechanisms for Heme and Inorganic iron, and the critical role of transport and regulatory proteins such as Ferroportin, Apoferritin, Transferrin, and Hephaestin. Also covers key dietary factors (Phytates, Ascorbates) that influence iron bioavailability.
