Erythrocyte ferritin in human neonates: maternofetal iron kinetics revisited

Clinical and Laboratory Haematology
G TcherniaD Diallo

Abstract

Serum and erythrocyte ferritin concentrations were measured in 369 healthy term neonates and their mothers, with a view to understanding maternofetal iron kinetics. Erythrocyte ferritin concentrations in the neonates were on average 100 times higher than maternal values, while those of serum ferritin were about 10 times higher. Maternal and fetal iron status were correlated in the overall study population. Serum and erythrocyte ferritin values were also correlated with each other in both the mothers and neonates. To study the influence of iron status on these conditions, we formed three groups of mother-child pairs of equal size, based on maternal iron status (serum ferritin). The correlations found in the overall population were not always present in each subgroup. In the infants born to mothers with adequate tissue iron reserves (serum ferritin > 12 micrograms/I), a statistical link was found between serum and erythrocyte ferritin levels. When the mothers had optimal iron status (serum ferritin > or = 22 micrograms/I), there was a correlation between the neonatal and maternal erythrocyte ferritin levels. No such links were found when the mothers had low tissue iron stores (serum ferritin < 12 mg/I). These data point to specia...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
