Transferrin Receptor 1 and Ferroportin Expression in the Full-Term Human Placenta and its Association with Maternal and Neonatal Iron Status: A Pilot Study
Author(s): Vanessa Corrales-Agudelo, Julio C Bueno-Sanchez, Beatriz Pena-Arboleda, Arturo Cardona-Ospina, Ernesto Lopez-Rojas, Luis Escobar, Juan G Maldonado-Estrada and Beatriz E Parra-Sosa
Background: Maternal iron deficiency negatively affects the iron status of the newborn and could have adverse effects during childhood and adult life, particularly on cognitive and productive processes. Because few studies have related the
level of iron receptor expression in the placenta with maternal and/or newborn iron status, the objective of this study was to evaluate the association between the iron statuses in the mother and the newborn and the expression of transferrin
receptor-1 (TfR1) and ferroportin (FPN) in the full-term human placenta.
Materials and methods: A pilot study, cross-sectional design, we selected full-term pregnant women based on their antepartum iron status: iron deficiency with anemia (IDA, n=5), iron deficie... view more»
