...) and serum ferritin, were used. Seven of the 13 studies reported the prevalence of iron deficiency separately for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Five out of 7 showed a higher prevalence of iron deficiency among the vegetarian participants, while the other 2 showed a higher prevalence of iron deficiency...

...Ya-nan Zhang; Chengfu Xu; Lei Xu; Chaohui Yu; Min Miao; Jianhong Xie; Youming Li Background/Aims: To examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of serum ferritin levels with hyperuricemia. Methods: A cross-sectional and subsequently prospective study was performed among the employees...

...Fung-Jung Yu; Meng-Chuan Huang; Wen-Tsan Chang; Hsin-Fang Chung; Chin-Yi Wu; Shyi-Jang Shin; Chih-Cheng Hsu Aims: Iron overload identified by elevated ferritin concentrations has been implicated in risks of altered glucose metabolism and diabetic complications. The relationship between ferritin...

... aggravating role of non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) has been proposed. Material and Methods: NTBI responses in both a fasting and post-oral iron dosing situation were related to serum iron concentration and ferritin status. Fasting and 1, 2, and 3 h postdose serum samples were obtained in conjunction...

... below the recommended 15 mg/day. Among nonpregnant women of reproductive age, ∼40% have plasma ferritin ≤30 µg/l, i.e. an unfavorable iron status with respect to pregnancy. An adequate iron status during pregnancy implies body iron reserves ≧500 mg at conception, but only 15–20% of women have iron...

... after prior enrichment procedures. Results: Serum hepcidin-25 levels correlated significantly with urinary hepcidin-25 concentrations, whereas serum and urinary prohepcidin were not associated with one another or with the homologous or converse formats for hepcidin-25. Serum ferritin and transferrin...

... (29.5%), iron deficiency (28.4%), and vitamin E deficiency (17.1%). Including those with borderline values, the proportion of children vulnerable to VAD threats reached 90%. Compared to normal subjects, anemic children had lower SRC (207 vs. 233 μg/l; p < 0.001) and ferritin (9.6 vs. 11.3 μg/l; p...

...-tocopherol, ferritin and blood hemoglobin and hematocrit were assessed. Results: Stunting, vitamin A deficiency, anemia, and iron deficiency were prevalent at rates of 21.1, 25.2, 57.3, and 20.2%, respectively. Mean serum retinol concentration was 249 ± 64 μg/l. More than 50% of the children were at risk...

... measured. Results: Ferritin correlated positively with waist circumference, body mass index, impaired insulin sensitivity, plasma triglycerides and inversely with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. We observed positive correlations between ferritin, oxidized lowdensity lipoprotein and advanced oxidation...

...C.T. Wong; N. Saha The concentrations of non-haem iron, ferritin and ferritin-iron were measured in the livers of 137 adults and children collected at necropsy. The concentrations of non-haem and ferritin iron were found to be 146.6 ± 95.2 µg/g and 61.6 ± 32.4 µg/g, respectively, in males and 108.0...

... zinc, serum ferritin, plasma total triiodothyronine (T 3 ) and thyroxine (T 4 ), serum free T 3 and T 4 , and thyroid-stimulating hormone concentrations, and RMR in zinc-deficient, physically active women. Methods: Two zinc-deficient female college students (ZD1 and ZD2) were supplemented with 26.4 mg...

... controlled for several important influential factors. Methods: Two homogenous groups of 30 apparently healthy Caucasian premenopausal women and 3–5 years postmenopausal women who were nonobese, nonsmoking and not using estrogen were compared in a well-controlled cross-sectional design. Fasting serum ferritin...

...: To evaluate the predictive value of ferritin and erythrocyte folate before pregnancy in relationship to the incidence of anemia throughout pregnancy. Methods: Thirty-five non-anemic non-pregnant women were evaluated 1 or 2 months before the pregnancy. After becoming pregnant they were evaluated every 4 weeks...
