Regulation of Transferrin Receptors and Iron Uptake in Normal and Injured Nervous System

  • Conference paper
The Facial Nerve

Abstract

Iron is an essential requirement for many metabolic reactions occurring in living organisms. Iron-containing proteins play a crucial part in energy metabolism, DNA synthesis, and enzymatic production of reactive radicals (for a review see [5]). Particularly high requirements for iron are present in rapidly growing cells and tissues during development, including development of the nervous system [3, 7]. Iron deficiency is known to interfere with these processes [16, 24].
