Iron stores were evaluated by serum ferritin determinations in 948 menstruating and 141 non-menstruating female blood donors. Blood donation was associated with a decrease in ferritin. First-time donors (n = 163) had a geometric mean ferritin of 24 micrograms/l and multiple-time donors a value of 19 micrograms/l (p less than 0.01). In the donating population 31.5% had ferritin values less than 15 micrograms/l (i.e. depleted iron stores). Menstruating donors had lower mean serum ferritin than non-menstruating donors (p less than 0.001), and a higher frequency of ferritin values less than 15 micrograms/l (p less than 0.05). There was no relationship between ferritin levels and the number of pregnancies. The frequency of donations was more predictive of ferritin levels than the number of donations. Mean ferritin displayed a moderate fall up to the 2nd donation, and was hereafter relatively constant, whereas an increase in donation frequency was accompanied by a significant decrease in ferritin. Female donors, especially when phlebotomised greater than or equal to 3 times per year, should have their iron status checked at appropriate intervals by measurement of serum ferritin and should be advised regular iron supplementation. 相似文献

1. A solid phase immunoradiometric assay using anti-serum coated polystyrene tubes, is described for the assay of porcine serum ferritin. 2. The mean concentration of ferritin in the serum of both male and female pigs (Sus scrofa) was 12.1 micrograms/l +/- 8.7 micrograms (range less than 1-35 micrograms/l) and no sex differences were observed in 40 pigs from 1 day to 4 years old. 3. Serum ferritin increased with increasing body iron stores in iron loaded pigs as assessed by hepatic iron concentration. 4. The assay is sensitive (detecting less than 1 microgram/l), reproducible, specific and it does not cross-react with human or rat ferritin. 相似文献

Blood donors were examined for serum ferritin values and concentration of ferritin in the erythrocytes. The group of male and female donors without previous donations showed average values of 102.27 ng and 51.75 ng of ferritin per one ml of serum, respectively. Males with over 20 donations had 68.04 ng ferritin per one ml, females 37.14 ng of ferritin per one ml. The reduced serum ferritin values in multiple male and female donors is statistically significant. Serum ferritin values in women of the two groups are lower than those of males, the difference also being statistically significant. In male and female blood donors, irrespective of the number of donations, average values of 13.74 ag and 12.07 ag of ferritin per erythrocyte, respectively, were established. The difference in ferritin concentration in the erythrocytes between males and females is statistically insignificant. The correlation coefficient failed to demonstrate any dependence between erythrocyte ferritin concentration and concentration of ferritin in the serum. The object of serum ferritin determination in blood donors is to detect the earliest stage of storage iron deficiency in the organism. For the latter purpose, the determination of erythrocyte ferritin is ineffective. 相似文献

In iron deficiency anaemia basic red cell content of ferritin is appreciably reduced. This variable was determined in 62 patients with rheumatoid arthritis to evaluate conventional laboratory indices for iron deficiency in the anaemia of rheumatoid arthritis. For 23 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and normocytic anaemia irrespective of plasma ferritin concentration, red cell ferritin content did not differ significantly from that for non-anaemic patients with rheumatoid arthritis. For 27 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and microcytic anaemia, the mean red cell ferritin content for patients with a plasma ferritin concentration in the 13-110 micrograms/l range was appreciably reduced. It was indistinguishable from that for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and classical iron deficiency anaemia, indicated by plasma ferritin concentrations of less than 12 micrograms/l. In contrast, the mean red cell ferritin content for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, microcytic anaemia, and plasma ferritin concentrations above 110 micrograms/l did not differ from that for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and normocytic anaemia. Oral treatment with iron in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, microcytic anaemia, and appreciably reduced red cell ferritin concentrations was accompanied by significant increases in haemoglobin concentration (p less than 0.01), mean corpuscular volume (p less than 0.01), and red cell ferritin contents (p less than 0.05). This treatment, however, did not produce any appreciable change in haemoglobin concentration in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, normocytic anaemia, and normal red cell ferritin contents. These findings suggest that the indices for iron deficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and anaemia should include peripheral blood microcytosis together with a plasma ferritin concentration of less than 110 micrograms/l. 相似文献

Plateletpheresis donors may become iron deficient, particularly if donating at the maximum suggested interval of every 2 weeks. This study aimed to evaluate iron stores in male Chinese plateletpheresis donors. Serum samples were collected from 445 male plateletpheresis donors and serum ferritin (SF) levels were measured. There were 16 repeat donors (3.6%) with iron deficiency (SF<10 ng/mL), but none was found in first time donors. About 63 (14.2%) had depleted iron stores (SF<30 ng/mL), including two first time donors (0.4%). Repeat donors had lower mean SF levels than the first donors. There was a positive correlation between iron deficiency/depletion prevalence, lower hemoglobin level and number of platelet donations. Donation interval, age and ABO blood groups were not associated with iron status. Iron status needs to be monitored in repeat platepheresis donors and donors with Hb<130 g/L, especially when the number of donations are between 10 and 30. For these individuals, SF measurement and iron supplementation are recommended. 相似文献

Topical values for some haematological factors such as Hb and Ery as well as transferrin and ferritin were determined in 7 female blood donors and 8 male blood donors during the years of their work as blood donors. Subsequently, an iron resorption test was carried out which unexpectedly resulted in low rates of resorption ranging from 5.6% in men to 3.7% in women. After supplementing with vitaferro for 3 months the ferritin values which initially lay around the lower limiting value of 20 or 10 mg/l in men or women had doubled. 相似文献

The serum bone Gla protein (BGP) level was measured in patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, and primary hyperparathyroidism, and normal volunteers. The mean serum BGP level was 4.5 +/- 0.20 micrograms/l in 40 normal volunteers. It was significantly lower in 12 patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (1.6 +/- 0.21 micrograms/l, p less than 0.001) and significantly higher in 33 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (13.0 +/- 1.3 micrograms/l, p less than 0.001). When a single intravenous injection of 30 micrograms of human PTH 1-34 was administered to the patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, there was no significant change in serum BGP within the next 24 hours. Following a therapeutic oral dose of alfacalcidol, serum BGP was appreciably increased (p less than 0.001) from the preadministration value of 1.6 +/- 0.21 micrograms/l to 3.9 +/- 0.34 micrograms/l. In patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, the surgical excision of parathyroid adenoma led to a sharp decrease in serum PTH but a gradual decrease in serum BGP. The latter approximately paralleled the decline in serum alkaline phosphatase. Thus, serum BGP is a marker that reflects bone turnover status in parathyroid disease. It appears that the active form of vitamin D directly increases the secretion of BGP in existing osteoblasts and PTH mainly affects serum BGP to stimulate the bone remodeling cycles with its long term effect. 相似文献

Studies have shown that men and women exhibit significant differences regarding iron status. However, the effects of sex on iron accumulation and distribution are not well established. In this study, female and male Sprague-Dawley rats were killed at 4 months of age. Blood samples were analyzed to determine the red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, hematocrit (Hct), and mean red blood cell volume (MCV). The serum samples were analyzed to determine the concentrations of serum iron (SI), transferrin saturation (TS), ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), and erythropoietin (EPO). The tissue nonheme iron concentrations were measured in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, kidney, heart, gastrocnemius, duodenal epithelium, lung, pallium, cerebellum, hippocampus, and striatum. Hepatic hepcidin expression was detected by real-time PCR analysis. The synthesis of ferroportin 1 (FPN1) in the liver, spleen, kidney, and bone marrow was determined by Western blot analysis. The synthesis of duodenal cytochrome B561 (DcytB), divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1), FPN1, hephaestin (HP) in the duodenal epithelium was also measured by Western blot analysis. The results showed that the RBC, Hb, and Hct in male rats were higher than those in female rats. The SI and plasma TS levels were lower in male rats than in female rats. The levels of serum ferritin and sTfR were higher in male rats than in female rats. The EPO levels in male rats were lower than that in female rats. The nonheme iron contents in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and kidney in male rats were also lower (56.7, 73.2, 60.6, and 61.4 % of female rats, respectively). Nonheme iron concentrations in the heart, gastrocnemius, duodenal epithelium, lung, and brain were similar in rats of both sexes. A moderate decrease in hepatic hepcidin mRNA content was also observed in male rats (to 56.0 % of female rats). The levels of FPN1 protein in the liver, spleen, and kidney were higher in male rats than in female rats. There was no significant change in FPN1 expression in bone marrow. Significant difference was also not found in DcytB, DMT1, FPN1, and HP protein levels in the duodenal epithelium between male and female rats. These data suggest that iron is distributed differently in male and female rats. This difference in iron distribution may be associated with the difference in the hepcidin level. 相似文献

Serum from homozygous hypotransferrinaemic mice (a mixed group of males and females, aged 6-8 wk) was found to contain low levels of iron (mean 0.9 +/- 0.5 microM (SEM, n = 4), as assayed by conventional serum iron assays. Similarly, low levels of non-transferrin-bound iron were determined with a nitrilotriacetate chelation assay (1.3 +/- 0.4 microM, n = 4) (Singh, S., Hider, R.C. and Porter, J.B. (1990) Analytical Biochemistry 186, 320-323). Mononuclear Fe (citrate) was undectable by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). Significantly larger quantities of iron (16 +/- 5 microM, n = 8) were detected by the bleomycin assay (Gutteridge, J.M.C., Rowley, D.A. and Halliwell, B. (1981) Biochemical Journal 199, 263-265), while non-haem iron assay or atomic absorption spectrophotometry revealed up to 96 microM iron. Haemoglobin iron was detectable at approximately 10 microM by spectrophotometry. Ferri-haem was undetectable by EPR spectroscopy. Serum ferritin levels of 641 +/- 128 micrograms/l (n = 14) in hypotransferrinaemic mice (wild-types 44 +/- 6 micrograms/l, n = 14) were observed and these cannot account for the non-transferrin-bound iron. Hypotransferrinaemic mouse serum therefore contains large quantities of non-transferrin-bound iron which is unreactive in some assays used to detect such iron in human iron overload. Fractionation by Sephadex G200 chromatography revealed three distinct species with apparent molecular weights of > or = 150 kDa, 40-80 kDa and 1-5 kDa. The iron may be distinguished from known extracellular iron proteins and haem-proteins by its availability to hot acid extractions. 相似文献

Ferritin is a multimer of 24 subunits of heavy and light chains. In mammals, iron taken into cells is stored in ferritin or incorporated into iron-containing proteins. Very little ferritin is found circulating in mammalian serum; most is retained in the cytoplasm. Female mosquitoes, such as Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito, Diptera), require a blood meal for oogenesis. Mosquitoes receive a potentially toxic level of iron in the blood meal which must be processed and stored. We demonstrate by 59Fe pulse-chase experiments that cultured A. aegypti larval CCL-125 cells take up iron from culture media and store it in ferritin found mainly in the membrane fraction and secrete iron-loaded ferritin. We observe that in these larval cells ferritin co-localizes with ceramide-containing membranes in the absence of iron. With iron treatment, ferritin is found associated with ceramide-containing membranes as well as in cytoplasmic non-ceramide vesicles. Treatment of CCL-125 cells with iron and CI-976, an inhibitor of lysophospholipid acyl transferases, disrupts ferritin secretion with a concomitant decrease in cell viability. Interfering with ferritin secretion may limit the ability of mosquitoes to adjust to the high iron load of the blood meal and decrease iron delivery to the ovaries reducing egg numbers. 相似文献

In blood donors the question arises for eventual endangering by iron deficiency. The results of this work show that ferritin determinations for blood donors will indicate a latent, in some cases a manifest iron deficiency. The examination of testing components such as PVC, MCH, Fe i. S., transferrin and transferrin saturation produced no special advantages concerning sensitivity and specificity, in terms of ferritin determination. It is indispensable, however, to know the ferritin value because the control of the Hb value prior to blood donation will usually characterize the blood donor's situation in a sufficient manner. For control purposes it is possible to use capillary or venous blood. It is only in general, but particularly in special clinical situations that you have to be aware of the blood donor's condition concerning his/her Fe-metabolism. 相似文献

The zinc content in whole blood and serum was determined in 239 healthy males and 217 healthy females by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean level of zinc obtained in whole human blood from males was 607.0 +/- 105.3 micrograms/100 ml and in females 585.2 +/- 122.9 micrograms/100 ml. The mean level of zinc in serum was 116.6 +/- 55.2 micrograms/100 ml and 105.2 +/- 66.9 micrograms/100 ml in males and females respectively. The zinc concentration in whole blood and serum in males proved to be slightly higher than in females though the difference is not statistically significant. For the males a positive correlation was found between age and the zinc level in whole blood and serum; this is only statistically significant in whole blood. In females, the zinc level in whole blood showed a positive correlation with age which was not statistically significant, while in serum this correlation was negative and statistically significant. 相似文献

The copper content in whole blood and serum was determined in healthy human subjects (240 males and 217 females) by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean level of copper obtained in whole blood was 104.8 +/- 20.5 micrograms/100 ml in males and 117.1 +/- 20.1 micrograms/100 ml in females. The mean level of copper in serum was 102.3 +/- 21.7 micrograms/100 ml and 123.9 +/- 30.4 micrograms/100 ml, in males and females respectively. The copper concentration in whole blood and serum in females proved to be significantly higher than in males (p less than 0.001). With respect to age, the copper level showed a slightly negative correlation which is only statistically significant in whole blood in females (p less than 0.05). 相似文献

1. The haemoglobin, haematocrit, transferrin and serum iron of a group of 418 healthy medical students, aging from 18 till 25 years, were determined. The mean Hb for the male students was 9.4 +/- 0.63 mmol/l, for the female students 8.7 +/- 0.56 mmol/l. 2. The correlations between Hb, Ht, SeFe and transferrin have been investigated. A positive correlation exists between Hb and SeFe and Ht and SeFe. 相似文献

1. Changes in plasma and tissue ferritin concentrations were surveyed in mice fed on iron deficient diets (Fe, 2.4 micrograms/g) from the age of 8 to 30 weeks by an enzyme-immunoassay for mouse ferritin. Values were compared with those in mice on control diets (Fe, 110 micrograms/g) and mice with blood loss. 2. In mice on iron deficient diets, while plasma ferritin remained at normal level, ferritin in the spleen and kidney decreased, but that in the liver increased as much as twice of that in the control. 3. Mice with blood loss revealed a drastic reduction of ferritin in every tissue and plasma examined. 相似文献

1. In Wistar strain rats, the serum concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) was 3.6 +/- 0.8 micrograms/ml at the birth and no apparent change was observed during 15 days after delivery. 2. Thereafter it increased about 30 times rapidly until day 30 and then rather gradually reaching the adult level of 0.4-0.8 mg/ml. 3. Before delivery, there were two peaks in the CRP level, on day 0 and day 15 of gestation. The concentrations were 0.70 +/- 0.06 and 0.77 +/- 0.10 mg/ml, respectively. 4. The CRP level decreased to 0.42 +/- 0.05 mg/ml at the delivery and increased to 0.54 +/- 0.05 mg/ml within 2 days after delivery. 5. The treatment with estradiol-17 beta resulted in the decrease of CRP (52%) in both ovariectomized and non-treated female rats. 6. The treatment with testosterone resulted in the increase of CRP in male but not in female rats. 7. However, in ovariectomized rats, testosterone elevated the serum CRP. 8. In neither ovariectomized nor intact female rats, progesterone and corticosterone showed any remarkable effect. 相似文献

This study examined the effect of diet-induced, marginal zinc deficiency for 7 wks in 15 men (aged 25.3 +/- 3.3 yrs; mean +/- SD) on selected indices of iron and copper status. The regimen involved low-zinc diets based on egg albumin and soy protein with added phytate and calcium such that mean [phytate]/[Zn] and [phytate] X [Ca]/[Zn] molar ratios were 209 and 4116, respectively, for 1 wk, followed by 70 and 2000, respectively, for 6 wks. Subjects were then repleted with 30 mg Zn/d for 2 wks. Plasma copper, Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) activity in plasma and red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin, hematocrit, and serum ferritin were determined weekly on fasting blood samples. Significant reductions (p less than 0.05) after 7 wks in RBC Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (49.5 +/- 7.2 vs 33.6 +/- 6.3 U/mg Hb) and serum ferritin (69.2 +/- 38.7 vs 53.8 +/- 33.7 micrograms/L) occurred; no comparable decline was noted for plasma Cu, hemoglobin, or hematocrit. Significant (p less than 0.05) but less consistent changes were also observed in plasma superoxide dismutase activity. None of the changes were associated with the decreases in plasma, urinary and hair zinc concentrations, and alkaline phosphatase activity in RBC membranes. Results indicate that the biochemical iron and copper status of the subjects was marginally impaired, probably from the dietary regimen that induced marginal zinc deficiency. 相似文献

We aimed to investigate possible associations between systemic iron metabolism deficiency and Parkinson's disease, and also to research any possible correlations between stage of the disease and vitamin B12 and folic acid levels. 33 male and 27 female patients diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease and 22 male and 20 female age- and sex-matched controls were enrolled in the study. Having the diagnosis of secondary Parkinsonism or Parkinson plus syndromes, and for the females, not being in the menopausal stage were considered as exclusion criteria. Recordings of blood samples of both groups collected after 8 h fasts were assessed in terms of serum iron, ferritin levels and iron-binding capacity, vitamin B12 and folic acid levels. The Hoehn and Yahr scale was used to determine the stage of the disease. No statistically significant difference was found with respect to mean serum iron, median serum ferritin levels and median serum iron-binding capacity between the groups. A statistically significant but inverse correlation was found between symptoms' duration and serum iron and ferritin levels. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups with respect to vitamin B12 and folic acid levels. However, a statistically significant but inverse correlation was determined between the patients' vitamin B12 levels and the Hoehn and Yahr scores. As Parkinson's disease progresses, serum iron, ferritin and vitamin B12 levels may decrease. The lower levels of these parameters may be the cause of the progression or may be the result of it. 相似文献

Cortisol values were obtained from 39 ferrets, Mustela putorius furo, by using a commercial radioimmunoassay. Sera from 25 males (18 intact, 7 neutered) and 14 females (7 intact, 7 spayed) were assayed. Resting serum cortisol values ranged from 0.13 to 2.70 micrograms/dl for males (mean = 0.93 +/- 0.63 micrograms/dl), and 0.55 to 1.84 micrograms/dl for females (mean = 0.86 +/- 0.29 microgram/dl). The resting cortisol values of both males and females were comparable to those of the cat (1.0 to 3.0 micrograms/dl). A 7 year old male ferret with suspected hyperadrenocorticism and an adrenal mass had a cortisol level of 8.1 micrograms/dl. Adrenal cortical carcinoma was the histologic diagnosis. One adult female ferret had a cortisol level of 3.30 micrograms/dl. This animal also had proliferative colitis upon necropsy. An ACTH stimulation test (1 U/kg IM) and a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test (0.1 mg/kg) were performed on 10 ferrets. Post-ACTH serum cortisol levels increased by an average of 89%. Post-dexamethasone serum cortisol values decreased by an average of 18% 6 hours post-injection. 相似文献

Elevated plasma homocysteine can generate oxygen free radicals and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme catalase is involved in the protection against hydrogen peroxide. We examined the effect of oxidative stress promoted by homocysteine on erythrocyte metabolism (blood hemoglobin, MCV, folate, B12, serum LDH, LDH isoenzymes, haptoglobin) in the oxidative stress sensitive Hungarian patients with inherited catalase deficiency. The plasma homocysteine (HPLC method, Bio-Rad), folate, B12 (capture binding assay, Abbott), blood hemoglobin concentrations, blood catalase activity (spectrophotometric assay of hydrogen peroxide), and MCV values were determined in 7 hypocatalasemic families including hypocatalasemic (male:12, female:18) patients and their results were compared to those of the normocatalasemic (male:17 female: 12) family members. We found decreased (p <.036) folate (ng/ml) concentrations (male hypocatalasemic 5.44 +/- 2.81 vs. normocatalasemic 7.56 +/- 1.97, female 5.01 +/- 1.93 vs. 6.61 +/- 1.91), blood hemoglobin (p <.010, male:140.2 +/- 11.0 vs. 153.6 +/- 11.6 g/l, female: 128.4 +/- 10.9 vs. 139.6 +/- 9.2 g/l). Increased levels of MCV (p <.001) were detected in hypocatalasemic patients (male: 98.6 +/- 3.4 vs. 90.1 +/- 7.5 fl, female: 95.9 +/- 3.9 vs. 90.1 +/- 2.5 fl), plasma homocysteine (p <.049, male: 9.72 +/- 3.61 vs. 7.36 +/- 2.10 umol/l, female: 9.06 +/- 3.10 vs. 6.84 +/- 2.50 umol/l) and not significant (p >.401) plasma B12 (male: 336 +/- 108 vs. 307 +/- 76 pg/ml, female: 373 +/- 180 vs. 342 +/- 75 pg/ml). The serum markers of hemolysis (LDH, LDH isoenzymes, haptoglobin) did not show significant (p >.228) signs of oxidative erythrocyte damage. We report firstly on increased plasma homocysteine concentrations in inherited catalase deficiency. The increased plasma homocysteine and inherited catalase deficiency together could promote oxidative stress via hydrogen peroxide. The patients with inherited catalase deficiency are more sensitive to oxidative stress of hydrogen peroxide than the normocatalasemic family members. This oxidative stress might be responsible for the decreased concentration of the blood hemoglobin via the oxidation sensitive folate and may contribute to the early development of arteriosclerosis and diabetes in these patients. 相似文献
