    • Arredondo Olguín, Miguel; Weisstaub Nuta, Sergio; Medina, Marcos; Suazo Romo, Miriam; Guzmán, Miguel; Araya, Magdalena (Elsevier, 2014)
      It is not clear how frequent is copper deficiency in humans. Current copper markers are not sensitive enough to detect early copper deficiency and new markers are needed. CCS is a candidate to become a copper ...
    • Andrews, Mónica; Soto, Néstor; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel (Elsevier, 2015)
      Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the association between iron parameters and inflammation in obese individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: We studied 132 obese individuals ...
    • Araya, Magdalena; Gutiérrez, Ricardo; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel (Springer, 2014)
      The chaperone to Zn–Cu superoxide dismutase (CCS) has been postulated as a candidate copper indicator, changing in a consistent manner in induced and recovered copper deficiency, in experimental cell and animal models. ...
    • Andrews, Mónica; Briones, L.; Jaramillo, A.; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel (Springer, 2014)
      Calcium, phytic acid, polyphenols and fiber are major inhibitors of iron absorption and they could be found in excess in some diets, thereby altering or modifying the iron nutrition status. The purpose of this study is ...
    • Jaramillo, Ángela; Briones, Lautaro; Andrews, Mónica; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel; Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Brito, Alex; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando (Elsevier, 2015)
      Objective: To determine the effect of phytic acid, tannic acid and pectin on fasting non-heme iron bioavailability in both the presence and absence of calcium. Research methods: Twenty-eight apparently healthy adult ...
    • Weinborn, Valerie; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Brito, Alex; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel; Flores, Sebastián; Valenzuela Venegas, Carolina (MDPI AG, 2015)
      The aim of this study is to determine the effect of proteins from cereals and legumes on heme iron (Fe) absorption. The absorption of heme Fe without its native globin was measured. Thirty adult females participated in two ...
    • Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Valenzuela Venegas, Carolina; Brito, Alex; Weinborn, Valerie; Flores, Sebastián; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel (Elsevier, 2016)
      Forty-five women (35-45 year) were randomly assigned to three iron (Fe) absorption sub-studies, which measured the effects of dietary animal proteins on the absorption of heme Fe. Study 1 was focused on heme, red blood ...
    • Espinoza, A.; Morales, S.; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel (Springer, 2014)
      Epidemiological studies have reported an association between high iron (Fe) levels and elevated risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). It is believed that the formation of Fe-catalyzed hydroxyl radicals may ...
    • Araya, Magdalena; Kelleher, Shannon; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel; Sierralta, Walter; Vial, María Teresa; Uauy Dagach-Imbarack, Ricardo; Lonnerdal, Bo (AMER SOC CLINICAL NUTRITION, 2005-05)
      Background: Whether infants regulate copper absorption and the potential effects of excess copper in early life remain poorly defined. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess copper retention, liver copper ...
    • Arredondo Olguín, Miguel; Mendiburo Seguel, María José; Flores, Sebastián; Singleton, Steven T.; Garrick, Michael D. (Springer Science+Business Media, 2014)
      Divalent Metal Transporter 1 (DMT1) is an apical Fe transporter in the duodenum and is involved in endosomal Fe export. Four protein isoforms have been described for DMT1, two from mRNA with an iron responsive element ...
    • Araya, Magdalena; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando; Olivares Grohnert, Manuel; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel; González Canales, Mauricio; Méndez, Marco (2006)
    • Pérez Bravo, Francisco; Duarte Silva, Lissette Constanza; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel; Iñíguez Vila, Germán; Castillo Valenzuela, Óscar (Springernature, 2021)
      Background Vitamin D [25(OH)D] is essential for normal bone development and maintenance. Furthermore, its deficiency has been associated with obesity, cardiovascular diseases, insulin resistance, autoimmune diseases, and ...
