Losses of ingested iron temporarily retained in the gastrointestinal tract
- 1. Sahlgrenska Sjukhuset, Goeteborg (Sweden)
Description
Excretion of radioiron 1 month after oral intake was studied in 6 healthy men by means of whole-body-counting. In one of the subjects as much as 17.6% of the 59Fe retained 2 weeks after oral intake was subsequently excreted. The radioiron losses were not due to bleeding. There was fairly close positive correlation between iron status of the subjects and the amount of radioiron lost. It is thus probable that the observed losses of radioiron reflect a physiological mechanism which regulates iron absorption. (author)
