does not get exported through ferroportin and accumulates in the cytosolic iron-storage molecule ferritin. Figure 4: Endocytosis of the complex of iron, transferrin and the transferrin receptor.

We investigated associations of ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), serum iron, and transferrin with T2D incidence to clarify the role of iron in the pathogenesis of T2D. Research Design and ...

Ferritin levels were similar in both groups at baseline but rose more in the iron group at 6 weeks (98 ng/mL vs. 1 ng/mL; P<0.001) and at 12 weeks (P<0.001). Transferrin saturation improved more ...

Clinicians should regularly test serum iron studies, including ferritin and transferrin saturation, in all patients with clinically significant RLS, ideally in the morning. (HealthDay News ...
