Abstract excerpt
This study of 172 university undergraduates examines the relationship of five cognitive tests to iron levels (as measured by a haematofluorometer) and three polymorphic blood markers implicated in either iron metabolism or transport. The markers used were the red cell antigens of the ABO system and the serum proteins transferrin (TF) and haptoglobin (HP). Negative correlations were found between zinc...
