“…At present, knowledge about the value of iron for metabolic processes (Bonkovsky & Herbert, 1991;Ganz, 2013;Dos Santos Vieira et al, 2018) and its use in combination with other substances, such as vitamins (Diel et al, 2018;Pillay et al, 2018), microelements (Todoriuk et al, 2018;Terpilowska & Siwicki, 2018, 2019 or in the form of nanocrystals (Zheng et al, 2008) for different routes of the administration (Maes et al, 2011;Peña-Rosas et al, 2015;Stephanyk et al, 2017) is deepened. This is relevant in connection with the worldwide registration of iron deficiency anemia (Batrakov, 2005;Killip & Bennett, 2008;Dela Cruz-Góngora, 2018), sometimes in combination with diabetes (Broide, 2018;Miranda, 2018) or other diseases (Yeh et al, 2019). Analyzing the literature data on corresponding topics, we also noticed that within an in-depth study of the properties of the bivalent iron (ІІ) and the trivalent iron (ІІІ) (Jiefen et al, 2017), the study of high-valent iron (ІV, V, VI) becomes very relevant.…”
