Too little and too much can be harmfulRoles in the body
Switches back and forth between two forms Ferrous iron (reduced state) Ferric iron(oxidized state)
Cofactor in oxidation-reduction reactions Widespread in metab; enzymes making aa, collagen, hormones, &
neurotransmitters Part of electron carriers

Absorption Body conserves iron
Balance maintained primarily through absorption Ferritin
Iron-storage in small intestine When Fe is needed ferritin releases some Fe to an Fe support
protein called Transferrin
Iron transport protein
IRON (FE)

Heme iron (animals) Nonheme iron (plant & animal)
Absorption-enhancing factors MFP factor
Peptide that promotes absorption of nonheme Fe from other foods eaten at same meal
Vitamin C Some acids and sugars

Iron Transport and Storage Surplus is stored in bone marrow, spleen, and liver. Hemosiderin is a storage protein used when concentrations of iron are
extremely high. Storing excess iron is a protective measure because iron can act as a
free radical.
Iron Recycling The liver and spleen dismantle red blood cells and package iron into
transferrin. Transferrin carries iron in the blood. Bone marrow incorporates iron into hemoglobin and stores iron as
ferritin. Iron-containing hemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood. Iron is lost when bleeding occurs and through the GI tract.
Iron Balance The absorption, transport, storage, recycling, and loss of iron must be
regulated in order to maintain iron balance. Hepcidin is a hormone that inhibits the absorption and transport of iron
to keep blood levels within normal ranges.

Absorption Rate varies depending on zinc status Dietary factors
Upon absorption Zn can participate in metabolic function of intestinal cells itself or may be retained
with the intestinal cells by metallothionein until the body needs Zn Recycling

travels from the pancreas to the intestines and back. Zinc losses
occur in the feces, urine, shedding of skin, hair, sweat, menstrual fluids, and semen.
