Anemia
Genes-in-Action - Hepcidin Regulation of Iron Supplementation
Anaemia continues to be one of the most common health problems affecting children and pregnant women in low-income countries. Nutritional iron deficiency is believed to be the main driver of anaemia, so mass iron supplementation…

Iron Absorption, Iron Requirements
Determination of Iron Absorption and Losses in People Living at High Altitude to Investigate the Requirements in This Population Group Using a Newly Developed Technique
Iron is an essential micronutrient responsible for a whealth of biological processes of the human body. Iron plays a fundamental role especially in oxygen transport, by binding to hemoglobin in the blood circulation.

Iron Absorption
Iron Long-Term Labelling Study Switzerland
Conventional indirect indicators of iron status, using serum and red blood cell biomarkers, are confounded by inflammation from common infections and are therefore of limited use in populations carrying a high burden of infection…
