20 / 1000+ resultsresearch Antihepcidin Antibody Treatment Modulates Iron Metabolism and Is Effective in a Mouse Model of Inflammation-Induced Anemia
This study suggests that antihepcidin antibodies may effectively treat inflammatory anemia by manipulating iron metabolism, based on experiments conducted in mouse models and hHepc knock-in mice.
research The Diagnosis and Treatment of Iron Deficiency and Its Potential Relationship to Hair Loss
This review discusses the complexities of diagnosing and treating iron deficiency related to nutritional anemia and hair loss, concluding that routine screening and supplementation for hair loss are not yet supported by sufficient evidence.
research UK Guidelines on the Management of Iron Deficiency in Pregnancy
These guidelines provide updated recommendations for healthcare professionals on preventing, diagnosing, and treating iron deficiency in pregnant and postpartum women in the UK, acknowledging the lack of high-quality evidence for many current practices.
research Iron Status in Diffuse Telogen Hair Loss Among Women
This study found that women with serum ferritin levels below or equal to 30 ng/mL have a strong association with an increased risk of diffuse telogen hair loss.
research Iron Deficiency in Female Pattern Hair Loss, Chronic Telogen Effluvium, and Control Groups
This study concluded that iron deficiency is common among women but not more prevalent in those with female pattern hair loss or chronic telogen effluvium compared to control subjects without hair loss.
research The Misogyny of Iron Deficiency
This review discusses the history and impact of iron deficiency anemia in women, highlighting its prevalence and the need for better detection and care, especially for those undergoing anesthesia.
research The Effect of Replenishment of Iron Stores After Phlebotomy Therapy in Porphyria Cutanea Tarda
This study found that replenishment of iron stores after phlebotomy-induced remission in porphyria cutanea tarda led to biochemical relapse, suggesting that reducing iron stores may be crucial for maintaining remission.
research Testosterone Alters Iron Metabolism and Stimulates Red Blood Cell Production Independently of Dihydrotestosterone
This study found that testosterone-enanthate increased red blood cell production and altered iron homeostasis in older hypogonadal men without being affected by finasteride, indicating these effects do not require type II 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research A Pilot Iron Substitution Program in Female Blood Donors With Iron Deficiency Without Anemia
This study found that a targeted iron supplementation program prevented anemia and improved blood return rates among premenopausal female blood donors with iron deficiency.
research Iron Plays a Certain Role in Patterned Hair Loss
This study found that serum ferritin levels were lower in premenopausal women with female pattern hair loss compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role for iron in hair loss.
research Cysteine Prevents the Reduction in Keratin Synthesis Induced by Iron Deficiency in Human Keratinocytes
This study found that cysteine supplementation significantly increases keratin expression in human keratinocytes, and counteracts the negative impact of iron deficiency on keratin production by enhancing iron availability for cellular processes.
research Severe Iron Deficiency Is Associated With a Reduced Conception Rate in Female Rats
In this study, severe iron deficiency led to a significant reduction in conception rates in a rat model, suggesting its potential role in unexplained infertility.
research Does Tissue Iron Status Have a Role in Female Alopecia?
Iron deficiency is not a significant cause of hair loss in women.
research Iron Deficiency and Diffuse Nonscarring Scalp Alopecia in Women: More Pieces to the Puzzle
This review examines the debated link between iron deficiency and nonscarring scalp alopecia in women, offering no new clinical results but emphasizing the need for further research and well-designed trials.
research Low Iron Stores: A Risk Factor for Excessive Hair Loss in Non-Menopausal Women
This study found that low iron stores are a risk factor for excessive hair loss in non-menopausal women.
research Lead, Cadmium, Copper, Zinc, Iron, and Calcium in Human Hair as a Function of Gender, Age, Smoking, and Hair Dyeing
In this study, higher concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn were found in the hair of smokers and users of hair dyes compared to non-smokers and those with undyed hair.
research Iron: A Cosmetic Constituent But An Essential Nutrient For Healthy Skin
This review discusses the role of iron from cosmetic sources in skin nutrition and reports no clinical results, highlighting its significance for skin, hair, and nail health.
research Hair Growth Stimulatory Effect by a Combination of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid and Iron Ion
This study suggests that a mixture of 5‐ALA and iron ion significantly improved hair growth in mice, comparable to minoxidil, without promoting keratinocyte or fibroblast proliferation in vitro.
research Iron Deficiency and Hair Loss: The Jury Is Still Out
This review discusses the diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency, its potential link to hair loss, and emphasizes the importance for dermatologists to understand these aspects; it reports no new findings.
research Serum Vitamin B12, Folate, Ferritin, and Iron Levels in Turkish Patients with Alopecia Areata
Vitamin B12, folate, ferritin, and iron levels are not linked to alopecia areata.
