Abstract excerpt
Increased body iron stores and transferrin (TF) variants have been found to be associated with adverse health effects believed to be caused by oxygen free radicals. Previous attempts to establish a relationship between TF types, serum TF concentrations and iron-binding have been inconclusive. We have studied serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), TF saturation and serum ferritin in relation to genetic TF...
