Iron Absorption. Measurement of Ingested Iron by a Human Whole-Body Liquid Scintillation Counter
Journal Article
·
· Journal of Clinical Investigation
Iron absorption was measured in normal and irondepleted subjects by using Fe/sup 5//sup 9/ and a whole-body liquid scintillation counter. Normal iron-replete adult humans absorbed lO% or less of the orally administered test dose. Iron-deficient subjects absorbed 29 to 71%. The method requires a small dose of radioisotope, permitting repeated studies. It provides an index of the rate of iron loss, including loss by bleeding.
