(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2006-05)Bioavailability results, obtained in humans, of wheat flour fortified with elemental iron might not be reliable because these studies have been performed using tracer iron compounds that probably do not have the same ...
-
(2006)The frequency of Crohn disease shows a significant increase in the last century. Affected patients show a misbalance between production of free radicals and anti oxidant defenses. Thus, one of the increasingly accepted ...

(2006)Copper is an essential and toxic trace metal for bacteria and, therefore, must be tightly regulated in the cell. Enterococcus hirae is a broadly studied model for copper homeostasis. The intracellular copper levels in ...
-
(2006)Heme oxygenase-1 is a microsomal enzyme that, when induced by stress, protects the cells from oxidative injury. Heme oxygenase-1 participates in the cleavage of the heme ring producing biliverdin, CO and ferrous Fe. The ...
