22
Q

Trace elements : Iron Fe 2+ and Ferric 3+

A

Iron has a key role in the metabolism of all animals

Most abundant mineral

Iron is absorbed in first section of SI (duodenum)

Those who are deficient, absorb 10-20%

23
Q

Iron is stored in the body in two forms:

A

Ferritin

Haemosiderin

24
Q

T or F, Iron is transported in the plasma by transferrin the iron transport protein

A

True

25
Q

What is liver essential for?

A

Normal iron homeostasis in the body.

Regulates iron movement through HEPICIDIN

26
Q

Roles of Iron:

A

Needed for red blood cells to form haemoglobin

Haemoglobin carries oxygen to all body tissues

Levels of iron tightly regulated

27
Q

Phosphates

Phytate

29
Q

Zinc (Zn)

A

Helps maintain structure integrity of proteins

Regulates gene expression

Reduces tumour growth

Abundant in nervous system

30

What is the daily requirement of Zinc?

A

Adult women: 8/mg a day

Adult men: 14mg/ day

31
