Abstract excerpt
Nontransferrin-bound iron (NTBI) has been detected in iron overload diseases. This form of iron may exert pro-oxidant effects and modulate cellular function and inflammatory response. The present study has aimed to investigate the effects of serum NTBI on monocyte adherence to endothelium. Measured by a recently developed high-throughput fluorescence-based assay, serum NTBI was found to be higher in both...
