Bioavaliability of Fe, Ca, P and Mg in Fe-deficient rats treated with different sources of dietary iron

Consumption of caprine milk improves metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in rats with nutritional ferropenic anaemia

“…There was a noticeable degree of bone demineralization, especially evident in the femur (Campos et al, 1998). This study showed that severe nutritional ferropenic anaemia (NFA) provokes significant alterations in the metabolism of Ca and P. Furthermore, it was observed that, after dietary Fe was supplied for 10 days to Fe-deficient groups, concentrations of Ca and P increased in the sternum, whereas Ca and P stores remained depleted in the femur (Campos et al, 1996). In relation to this finding, Medeiros et al (2002) reported that rats fed a Fe-deficient diet developed decreased bone mass and increased fragility; this effect was exacerbated by a Ca-restricted diet.…”

The Importance of the Proportion of Heme/Nonheme Iron in the Diet To Minimize the Interference with Calcium, Phosphorus, and Magnesium Metabolism on Recovery from Nutritional Ferropenic Anemia

“…Moreover, in iron-deficient rats when half of the supply of ferric citrate was replaced by heme iron, and despite the fact that digestive utilization of iron was good, the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, in general, was affected (Campos et al, 1996). The above considerations led us to design another study with the same bovine blood subproduct, in an 80/20 proportion of nonheme and heme iron, attempting to minimize the interference with the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium.…”

Encapsulación de hierro: Otra estrategia para la prevención o tratamiento de la anemia por deficiencia de hierro

“…También con compuestos que promuevan su absorción. Es el caso de la encapsulación mixta de hierro hemo/no hemo 22,23 , ya que el hierro hemo promueve la absorción de hierro no hemo 24 , ácido ascórbico (Figura 1A) que aumenta la absorción de hierro no hemo 25 , o simplemente entregar dosis de varios micronutrientes esenciales como es el caso de las chispitas o "sprinkles" 26 .…”
