The Effects of Iron Deficiency and the Quality and Quantity of Fat on Chemically Induced Cancer

  • Chapter
Inorganic and Nutritional Aspects of Cancer

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 91))

Abstract

Iron deficiency has been shown to affect a number of systems including the immune system, the gastrointestinal system, the erythron, and the utilization of at least one essential nutrient and perhaps others. A number of studies have indicated that in irondeficient animals and humans there is decreased killing by polymorpholeucocytes (1,2), but phagocytosis may not be altered. Additionally, in iron-deficient humans, it is shown to depress the response of T cells to mitogens.(3)

Supported in part by Grants CA16750 from the National Cancer Institute, and 508 from the Nutrition Foundation, Inc., New York.
