Description
This volume provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive overview of normal and aberrant human iron metabolism by international experts in the field. It reviews the metabolic importance of iron in evolution, the physiology and biochemistry of internal iron exchange, iron absorption and iron storage, and recent insights into the molecular regulation of cellular iron homeostatis. It also deals with clinical aspects of iron and disease, including diagnosis and treatment. With its detailed bibliography, the book provides an resource for research workers and clinicians in the many disciplines and specialties now touched by disturbances of iron metabolism.
