A Mössbauer spectroscopic study of the form of iron in iron overload. 1987

T G St Pierre, and D P Dickson, and J K Kirkwood, and R J Ward, and T J Peters

There are major differences in the temperature dependence of the Mössbauer spectra of ferritin and haemosiderin extracted from the organs of humans suffering from transfusional iron overload. Iron overload can also occur in animal systems as a result of artificial treatments or dietary factors. None of the animal systems which were investigated in the present study showed evidence in their Mössbauer spectra for the presence of the haemosiderin found in transfusional iron overload in humans. This suggests that the haemosiderin which occurs in the case of human transfusional iron overload may be specific to that situation.

D005293 Ferritins Iron-containing proteins that are widely distributed in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Their major function is to store IRON in a nontoxic bioavailable form. Each ferritin molecule consists of ferric iron in a hollow protein shell (APOFERRITINS) made of 24 subunits of various sequences depending on the species and tissue types.
