Iron Absorption

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biomembranes ((B,volume 4B))

Modern concepts of iron metabolism stem from the well-known studies of McCance and Widdowson [1], in which it was demonstrated for the first time that the human subject has a limited capacity to excrete iron. This suggested that there must be a controlling mechanism in iron absorption which normally prevents iron overload and maintains a state of equilibrium.
