Abstract

Iron and vitamin A deficiencies are among the most prevalent nutritional problems. There are no data on iron bioavailability in Iran. In addition, interaction of vitamin A with iron bioavailability is not well documented, so we determined iron bioavailability from the most widely consumed food in Iran, lavash bread, and the effect of vitamin A on this bioavailability. In vivo human studies for determining iron bioavailability are cumbersome, time consuming, and costly to perform, so we used an in vitro model in Caco-2 cells. Bread samples were digested with or without vitamin A (10 microg/1.0 g of dried bread). We used an iron solution containing vitamin C as a positive control. Iron absorption was measured using 59FeCl3. Bioavailability was defined as the percentage of radiolabeled iron taken up and transferred by Caco-2 cells after 1.5 h of incubation. Experiments were carried out two to four times. Mean +/- standard deviations for iron bioavailability in bread samples digested without or with additional vitamin A and in controls were 2.53 +/- 1.55%, 6.62 +/- 3.40%, and 20.80 +/- 2.30%, respectively (P < 0.001). Vitamin A caused a 2.62-fold increase in iron absorption from bread samples. Iranian lavash bread has low iron bioa...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
