Cleavage of exosomal-associated transferrin receptor in dogs, cats, and horses: progress towards a soluble transferrin receptor assay
… one disease or the other. In human medicine, soluble transferrin receptor 1 (sTfR) has shown 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 …

Association of maternal factors and iron deficiency anaemia in pregnant women attending antenatal care at Chongwe rural health centre in Chongwe district.
… Complete blood count was performed, and Soluble Transferrin Receptor levels were measured to assess anaemia and iron status, respectively. Data was analysed using SPSS software version 23. Results: The prevalence of anaemia was (39.1%) 88/225 out of which (9.1%) 8/88 presented with iron …

A photonic crystal biosensor application for assessment of iron deficiency
… 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, total analytical …

Psycho-endocrinological aspects in aging males and transsexual persons
… between this score and sex steroids, an androgen receptor polymorphism and general health related quality of life and functionality (Chapter 4). In Chapter 5 and 6, we no longer evaluated relative sex hormone deficiencies, but described the effects of drastic induction of overt hypogonadism …

Investigation into the causal effect of iron metabolism on cardiovascular disease
… association of serum iron, ferritin, transferrin and transferrin saturation (TS) with risk of CHD and stroke was assessed in 16,906 male and 17,110 female participants of the EPIC-CVD prospective cohort. Results of this study, which is the largest prospective study to investigate the …

Iron and copper interactions in humans: models and mechanisms.
… demonstrated. In addition to these observations, soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) concentration showed a significant increase with parity. While the study provided interesting physiological observations, a direct effect of Fe on Cu metabolism could not be tested. In an effort to determine the …

Complementary feeding practices, nutrient intake, and iron status of Māori, Pasifika, and other infants in Aotearoa New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Nutritional Science, Massey University, Albany, Aotearoa New Zealand
… For iron status, haemoglobin, plasma ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor, C-Reactive protein, and alpha-glycoprotein were obtained from a venous blood sample. Inflammation was adjusted for using the Biomarkers Reflecting Inflammation and Nutritional Determinants of Anaemia (BRINDA) method. …
