	Ferritin Medical Information
		Ferritin is a protein found inside cells that stores iron so your body can use it later.
		A ferritin test measures the amount of iron in your blood.
		The lower the ferritin level, even within the "normal" range, the more likely it is that the patient does not have enough iron.

	Ferritin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ferritin is a globular protein found mainly in the liver, which can store about 4500 iron (Fe)ions in a hollow protein shell made of 24 subunits.
		Ferritin is also used as a marker for iron overload disorders, such as haemochromatosis and porphyria in which the ferritin level may be abnormally raised.
		Ferritin is also used in materials science as a precursor in making iron nanoparticles for carbon nanotube growth by chemical vapor deposition.

	Ferritin - Health Centers News Story - WESH Orlando
		Ferritin is a protein found inside cells that stores iron so your body can use it later.
		The amount of ferritin in your blood (serum ferritin level) is directly related to the amount of iron stored in your body.
		The lower the ferritin level, even within the "normal" range, the more likely it is that the patient does not have enough iron.

	IMMUNOS Protocol for the Human Ferritin EIA Kit
		The measurement of ferritin in serum is useful in determining changes in body iron storage, and is non-invasive with relatively little patient discomfort.
		Serum ferritin measurements are also clinically significant in the monitoring of the iron status of pregnant women, blood donors, and renal dialysis patients.
		Ferritin levels in serum have also been used to evaluate clinical conditions not related to iron storage, including inflammation, chronic liver disease, and malignancy.

	Bathsheba Grossman - Ferritin Crystal
		Ferritin is a fantastically beautiful protein, and essential to life as we know it.
		Early in the lives of cells, ferritin works to gather iron into its hollow core, to release it later as the cells make new iron proteins for respiration, photosynthesis, and other key processes.
		The central question of how ferritin 'knows' when to take up and release iron is still under study - an elegant piece of molecular engineering.

	Ferritin
		Ferritin is an iron binding protein used as a therapeutic iron supplement.
		Ferritin can be given in very large doses, resulting in a much higher extraction of iron by the gut than with other iron supplements, without causing significant gastrointestinal distress.
		Ferritin is contraindicated in cases of acute pancreatitis due to the fact that one of the most frequent causes of this condition is hemochromatosis.

	A Mössbauer Spectroscopic Study of Ferritin Core Formation
		Ferritin is a protein synthesized within numerous organisms that functions to store and collect iron within the body.
		By comparing the isomer shifts, quadrupole splitting and magnetic fields within the ferritin samples, we are able to gain an understanding of the progression of the oxidation reaction that occurs within the protein shell and also about the accumulation of iron within the ferritin core.
		Ferritin continues to play an important role crucial to further formation of the core by acting as a catalyst to the Fe (II) oxidation and also providing a form of ligation which binds the iron (III) in proximity to the interior.

	Microbial Food Safety Research Unit : WHAT ROLE DO FERRITIN-LIKE PROTEINS PLAY IN BACTERIA? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The bacterial ferritins and bacterioferritins are related to the ferritins of eukaryotes and both the eukaryotic and prokaryotic ferritins have a common evolutionary origin.
		Thus, ferritin permits the storage of iron in a soluble, non-toxic form which can be used as a source of iron during periods of iron deficiency.
		In contrast, approximately 50% of the cellular iron is sequestered in the bacterial ferritin.

	Ferritin - Good Health by SETON
		Ferritin is a protein in the body that binds to iron; most of the iron stored in the body is bound to ferritin.
		High ferritin levels may also be caused by liver disease (cirrhosis or hepatitis), Hodgkin's disease, leukemia, infection, inflammatory conditions (such as arthritis or lupus), or a diet that is too high in iron.
		A ferritin test is often done with other tests to check the amount of iron in the blood, especially the iron and iron-binding capacity levels.

	Ferritin - [Medical Test]
		Ferritin is a protein in the body that binds to iron; most of the iron stored in the body is attached to ferritin.
		High ferritin levels may also be caused by liver disease (cirrhosis or hepatitis), Hodgkin's disease, leukemia, infection, a variety of inflammatory conditions (such as arthritis or lupus), or a diet that contains too much iron.
		Low ferritin levels often indicate the presence of an iron deficiency that can be caused by long-term (chronic) blood loss from excessive menstrual bleeding, pregnancy, insufficient iron in the diet, or bleeding inside the intestinal tract (from ulcers, colon polyps, colon cancer, hemorrhoids, or other conditions).

	Ferritin, Serum
		High serum ferritin levels may be associated with inflammation, liver disease, megaloblastic anemia, hemolytic anemia, sideroblastic anemia, thalassemia, iron overload (hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis), malignant diseases including leukemia and malignant lymphoma and are described with CEA elevations in patients with breast cancer.
		Red cell ferritin in conjunction with serum ferritin may be useful in distinguishing iron deficiency from iron overload in patients who have β-thalassemia.
		Elevated serum ferritin levels in patients with cancer is associated with a poor prognosis which may be due in part to deleterious biological effects of tumor ferritins on lymphocyte and granulocyte function.

	p000313e - Still's Disease - Ferritin Diagnosis
		Serum ferritin concentration in rheumatoid arthritis together with some plasma glycoproteins such as alpha 2-glycoprotein and C-reactive protein are part of the response to inflammation.
		Ferritin in plasma is glycosylated and the sialoglycosylated forms increase its microheterogeneity.
		Detection of ferritin values above 3000 micrograms/l should lead to the consideration of Still's disease when there is an acute febrile illness without evidence for bacterial or viral infections, serum ferritin being suitable for monitoring treatment.

	diagnosis - iron and serum ferritin tests
		Ferritin is the main protein that stores iron for areas that need it, especially the liver and the bone marrow where red blood cells are made.
		The iron ferritin level is the first in line to drop if the individual suffers any iron insufficiency from diet, malabsorption or loss during heavy or menstruation lasting more than 5 days.
		While the serum ferritin level at which a deficiency can be claimed is hotly argued by different schools of doctors, an excess of serum ferritin is generally agreed to be a bad thing.

	High ferritin ,please help - Ovarian Cancer Forum (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ferritin is a protein found in the cytoplasm of virtually all cells in the body.
		Ferritin was one of multiple proteins that were looked at (For instance see the article "Combination assay of CA 125, TPA, IAP, CEA, and ferritin in serum for ovarian cancer" by Yabushita and colleagues in Gynecol Oncol volume 29 pages 66-75, 1988.) As far as I can sort out, nothing ever came of these studies.
		Ferritin production and plasma ferritin concentrations are increased in the absence of iron overload in certain liver diseases (including chronic viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) and by inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor), since ferritin is an acute phase reactant.

	Ferritin and Hemosiderin
		Ferritins are class of iron storage proteins found in bacterial, plant and animal cells.
		Depending on the organism, ferritin particles are roughtly 8-12 nm in diameter, with several channels that appear to mediate iron transport to and from the interior.
		In mammalian cells, two types of ferritin monomers have been characterized (H and L types), which differ in the presence of certain residues that function to reduce ferric iron or facilitate mineralization of the particle with iron.

	Ferritin, the Iron-Storage Protein
		To understand how ferritin (or any of the many molecules that you will encounter in this course and throughout your experience in the sciences) performs its job, we must be able to visualize the three-dimensional structure of the molecule, and understand the relationship between the structural features and the function of the molecule.
		Ferritin is the protein within the body that stores iron and releases it through channels in a controlled fashion.
		Ferritin consists of 24 peptide subunits that form two types of channels where these subunits intersect; the 3-fold channel is polar and the 4-fold channel is nonpolar.

	Ferritin-IRE-Paper
		In higher animals, ferritin mRNA is regulated by iron via the interaction of a cytoplasmic binding protein (IRE-BP) with a specific sequence element in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) referred to as the iron responsive element (IRE).
		The ferritin sequence of the invertebrate Lymnaea (von Darl et al., 1994) is known to have the closest homology with the ferritin of schistosomes (Andrews et al., 1992).
		The relation of yolk ferritin expression between females and males as shown on Northern blots is similar to that of Western blots (Schüßler et al., 1995b) which argues for a regulation at the transcriptional level.

	Ferritin Molecular-Graphics Tutorial
		Cells have solved this problem of iron storage by developing ferritins, a family of iron-storage proteins that sequester iron inside a protein coat as a hydrous ferric oxide-phosphate mineral similar in structure to the mineral ferrihydrite.
		First, the total amount of iron in a ferritin sample is determined and then the time course of iron released from the protein by the reduction of the iron-mineral core is determined.
		If ferritin in the body is not saturated, but typically contains only about 2000 iron atoms on average, calculate the ratio of moles of hemoglobin in the body to moles of ferritin in the body.

	High iron saturation, normal ferritin Medical Laboratory Observer - Find Articles
		She was diagnosed with hemachromatosis 10 to 15 years ago and had numerous phlebotomies until her iron and ferritin were down in the normal range.
		(Ferritin was initially >1,000.) She has not had phlebotomies for several years, and her ferritin has remained low normal, but her iron has climbed up to 100% saturation for several repeated tests.
		Serum ferritin is usually normal early in the course of the disease, becoming elevated only when iron overload has developed.
