Folate status and milk folate concentration in lactating women
… iron and folate was analyzed. Milk folate, serum ferritin, serum folate, and red blood cell (rbc) folate concentrations were measured. Mean folate and iron intakes were 495 ± l05μg/d and 24 ± 4 mg/d, respectively. All women had normal rbc folate and serum ferritin values during the study. …

The Effects on Iron Status in Physically Active Females: Enhancing Beef Consumption through Interactive Cooking Classes and e-Cooking
… markers of iron status (hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum iron, serum ferritin and total iron binding capacity) and attitudes and behaviors towards beef and cooking were measured at baseline, 10 weeks and 6 months. Participants were classified as iron deficient if the serum ferritin levels <15 mg/dL …

Establishing locally derived reference intervals for full blood count parameters and white cell differential counts in the Western Cape region of South Africa
… viruses (HBV, HCV) and syphilis, and those with serum ferritin levels outside the reference range were excluded. Donors with an elevated serum ferritin were also excluded. Reference intervals were derived using non-parametric statistical methods and expressed to include the central 95% of the …

Iron and its Relationship to Neural Tube Defects among Offspring of Texas Border County Women
… blood hemoglobin and hematocrit values, and serum ferritin values were analyzed to see whether case and control values differed. No associations were found between case-women and control-women for dietary iron intake, hemoglobin, or hematocrit. Associations were found between ferritin and …

Iron and DHA in Relation to Early Cognitive Development
… by gas liquid chromatography. ID was assessed by serum transferrin receptor (sTfR), serum ferritin (SF), and body iron (BI); DHA by median split. Bayley Scales of Infant Development Index II (BSID-II) Mental Developmental Index (MDI) and Psychomotor Developmental Index (PDI) at 18 months (n=191) …

A Comparison of Markers of Iron Status between Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian Female High School Cross Country Runners. Is Routine, Pre-Season Screening Warranted?
… diet record. Blood samples were analyzed for serum iron, total iron binding capacity, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation. No significant difference was found between vegetarians and non-vegetarians for serum iron or transferrin saturation. However, TIBC was significantly higher in …

The regulation of human iron metabolism in hypoxia
… Hbmass increased by 2.2% and plasma ferritin levels decreased following LHTL. In conclusion, prolonged, moderate altitude exposure suppresses resting hepcidin levels, which likely ensures more iron can be transported to the erythron to support accelerated erythropoiesis. Prolonged …

Iron status and behavioral factors relative to dietary source of protein intake among female athletes at Virginia Tech
… period and analyzed for hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum iron, transferrin saturation, total iron~binding capacity, serum ferritin, free erythrocyte protoporphyrin, mean corpuscular volume, and red blood cell count. Means for all dietary groups were within normal limits for all blood variables. …

A photonic crystal biosensor application for assessment of iron deficiency
… as an immunodiagnostic platform for detection of serum ferritin and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), biomarkers for iron deficiency, is presented. Two assay formats were explored in this research: 1) standard sandwich assay (SA) and 2) inverse sandwich assay (IA). For both of these formats, …

From the marrow to the blood: Optimising the diagnosis of iron deficiency in the setting of inflammation
… Forty-two patients had BM ID with a median serum ferritin (SF) of 48.5 μg/L. 96/134 (72%) had inflammation with a CRP > 5 mg/L. A SF of < 80 μg/L had optimal sensitivity (69%) and specificity (94%) for ID diagnosis in the whole group (OR 23.5; CI 4.3-129). In patients without inflammation, a …

Epidemiological investigations of biomarker and dietary relationships with osteoporosis and fracture risk
… iron intake (HR:0.44, 95%CI:0.24-0.82) and serum ferritin concentrations (HR:0.30, 95%CI:0.14-0.64) were significantly inversely associated with spine fracture risk. In contrast, upper versus lower quintiles of animal iron intake in men was significantly associated with higher hip fracture …

The effects of moderate exercise on dietary intake, iron status, and cardiovascular endurance of 56- to 67-year-old women
… also obtained at weeks 0 and 11 to determine serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, hematocrit and hemoglobin concentrations. Three-day dietary and activity records were obtained from each subject at weeks 0 and 10. Using paired t-tests for statistical …

Cleavage of exosomal-associated transferrin receptor in dogs, cats, and horses: progress towards a soluble transferrin receptor assay
… promise as a marker, alone or in ratio with serum ferritin, that can differentiate iron deficiency anemia, anemia of chronic disease, and combined disease. sTfR is the product of cleavage of transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) from the surface of exosomes which are released into circulation from …

Chronic hypobaric hypoxia: physiological implications for exercise performance
… iron stores that were observed at sea-level (serum ferritin concentration: 48 ± 35 ng.mr 1) may have been implicated in the general lack of haematological adaptation.In contrast, chronic hypobaric hypoxia (~Pi02 of 115 mmHg to 125 mmHg) was associated with adverse changes in immune function. A …
