This study was conducted to identify the role of some blood parameters, levels of some hormones, proteins, and cellular kinetics that have a role in iron transport and storage, in addition to their relationship with each other and with blood and sex parameters for patients with severe and moderate iron deficiency anemia, and to compare the parameters with healthy people. The study period lasted for the period from (December 2020 until March 2021) The presence of iron deficiency anemia was confirmed by examining the blood picture and the criteria of hepcidin and ferritin. The results showed a significant decrease in the in the concentration of hepcidin, ferritin and iron in patients compared to the control group.

Iron is an essential element that is toxic when it accumulates in excess. Intricate regulatory mechanisms have evolved to maintain iron homeostasis within cells and between different tissues of complex organisms. This review discusses the proteins involved in iron transport and storage and their regulation in health and disease.

McIntosh apples that had been sprayed at the end of July with Alar as recommended commercially for preharvest drop control, were later treated with ethephon at 400 and 800 mg/liter, 6 and 3 days before optimum harvest date. Results were compared with untreated fruit and with fruit from trees sprayed with Alar alone. Measurements were made of abscission and firmness as well as CO2 and ethylene (C2H4) evolution. Treated fruit had a respiration rate greater than that of the control at harvest time. Ethephon treatments resulted in fruit that was firmer than Alar-treated or control fruit. No differences were noted among treatments with regard to pH, total acidity, percent soluble solids, or storage disorders of the fruit.
