Waldvogel-Abramowski S Waeber G Gassner C Buser A Frey BM Favrat B Tissot JD 2014 A revolution occurred during the last decade in the comprehension of the physiology as well as in the physiopathology of iron metabolism. The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent knowledge that has accumulated, allowing a better comprehension of the mechanisms implicated in iron homeostasis. Iron metabolism is very fine tuned. The free molecule is very toxic; therefore, complex regulatory mechanisms have been developed in mammalian to insure adequate intestinal absorption, transportation, utilization, and elimination. 'Ironomics' certainly will be the future of the understanding of genes as well as of the protein-protein interactions involved in iron metabolism. application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/24512 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1159/000362888 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/25053935 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Transfusion medicine and hemotherapy : offizielles Organ der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Transfusionsmedizin und Immunhamatologie. - 2014 Iron Metabolism Transfusion medicine Physiology of iron metabolism. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
