| | s010413a - Iron-Deficiency Anemia - Serum Ferritin Diagnosis |
 | | Whether ferritin is also the best predictor of response to iron therapy, cannot be determined on the basis of the present data. | | | Although reduced serum ferritin in anemic individuals is good evidence of iron deficiency, a significant proportion of anemic iron-deficient patients is missed by this procedure rendering it less useful than other, less expensive laboratory methods. | | | All 19 patients with low serum ferritin had iron deficiency as assessed on bone marrow examination, whereas six patients with low or absent bone marrow iron stores had serum ferritin within normal range. |

| | Ferritin concentrations in human serum have been measured in many different physiologic states and are routinely used to assess body iron stores. | | | At the end of each experiment, the medium was aspirated off for analysis of albumin and ferritin in the medium, and for LDH activity. | | | Serum ferritin concentrations are elevated in inflammatory conditions, and we wondered whether serum ferritin might be an acute phase reactant responsive to certain cytokines. |

| | Bathsheba Grossman - Ferritin Crystal |
| | At any given moment 70% of your body's iron is in the blood's hemoglobin, a few percent in the muscles as myoglobin, and the rest safely stored in ferritin. | | | For anyone who loves life science, the Ferritin Crystal offers a look into biomolecular structure: a research-quality model of an essential, universal, and beautiful protein. | | | Early in the lives of cells, ferritin works to gather iron into its hollow core, to release it later as the cells make new iron proteins for respiration, photosynthesis, and other key processes. |

| | Serum ferritin levels are measured in patients as part of the iron studies workup for anemia. | | | Ferritin is also used as a marker for iron overload disorders, such as haemochromatosis and porphyria in which the ferritin level may be abnormally raised. | | | As ferritin is also an acute-phase reactant, it is often elevated in the course of disease. |

| | Translation of ferritin mRNA is regulated so that ferritin is only made when free iron is present, needing sequestration. | | | An RNA structural element, the IRE, present in the 5' untranslated region of ferritin mRNA is sufficient to confer iron-regulated translation on other mRNAs. | | | Similar protein-RNA interactions have totally different effects depending on the context of the RNA target of binding (compare the ferritin example with transferrin receptor mRNA stability regulation). |
