Document Summary
Cytochromes- involved in electron transport chain in mitochondria. Transferrin (carrier of fe in the blood) Ferritin (storage form in liver, spleen and bone marrow) Liver, spleen, immune cells: deficiency signs- The most common sign of fe deficiency is a microcytic, hypochromic anemia. Size of rbc and hemoglobin is decreased. Reduced growth rate increased susceptibility to stresses and infectious agents. Light-colored muscle in suckling lambs and calves. Can happen in cows fed only milk. Melanin production integrity of the central nervous system. Ceruloplasmin: controls the rate of fe efflux from cells with mobilizable fe stores. Copper containing enzyme in iron metabolism and body metabolism. Normal bone formation (improving structural integrity of bone collagen) Lysyl oxidase: normal elastin formation in the aorta and the cardiovascular system. Cytochrome oxidase: normal myelination of the brain cells and spinal cord. Normal hair and wool pigmentation: deficiency signs-
