Conclusions
Our results have shown that nonheme iron status of rats is strongly affected already at the early stage of glial brain tumour growth. The ferritin iron indices increase essentially in the blood, liver, in the brain tumour and in the cortex symmetric to the tumour, i.e. the brain as a whole is enriched in ferritin iron in rats bearing glial brain tumour. A further work implies the estimation of the nonheme iron exchange parameters determined in the blood and brain tissues taken from patients bearing glial brain tumours and evaluation of their diagnostic power as well as testing of iron chelators as antiproliferative agents in the case of glial brain tumours.
