This study shows the effects of ferritin.
Ferritin is a storage site of iron .. and this storage site is argued to be not .. needed .. because once one has red blood cells of proper amount .. one doesn't need any **storage** iron of consequence. This is evidenced in diabetes when the iron is lowered into .. "near iron deficiency" .. the diabetes improves. The ferritin is targeted by the .. milieu / inflammation .. surrounding .. it .. DURING .. disease / inflammation .. and sooo .. logically IF .. it / ferritin .. doesn't EXIST / near iron deficiency / vegetarian / young bleeding women .. it couldn't BE .. targeted. <<snip>> exacerbating the tissue damage <<snip>> http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/art...?artid=1147255 Xanthine oxidase is able to mobilize iron from ferritin. This mobilization can be blocked by 70% by superoxide dismutase, indicating that part of its action is mediated by superoxide (O2-). Uric acid induced the release of ferritin iron at concentrations normally found in serum. The O2(-)-independent mobilization of ferritin iron by xanthine oxidase cannot be attributed to uric acid, because uricase did not influence the O2(-)-independent part and acetaldehyde, a substrate for xanthine oxidase, also revealed an O2(-)-independent part, although no uric acid was produced. Presumably the amount of uric acid produced by xanthine oxidase and xanthine is insufficient to release a measurable amount of iron from ferritin. The liberation of iron from ferritin by xanthine oxidase has important consequences in ischaemia and inflammation. In these circumstances xanthine oxidase, formed from xanthine dehydrogenase, will stimulate the formation of a non-protein-bound iron pool, and the O2(-)-produced by xanthine oxidase, or granulocytes, will be converted by 'free' iron into much more highly toxic oxygen species such as hydroxyl radicals (OH.), exacerbating the tissue damage.
