Physiology of Iron

Iron represents 55 and 45mgkg of body weight in adult men and women, respectively. Within the total body iron, 60-70% of it is present in hemoglobin in red blood cells. Myoglobin, cytochromes, and other iron-containing enzymes comprise a 10% of body iron and the remaining 20-30% is stored in ferritin, the major cellular iron storage protein. [Pg.240]
