Triiodothyronine (T3) [BSA]

One of the most prevalent disorders of man is the dietary deficiency of iron and the resulting anemia. Therefore, the assays of iron, total iron binding capacity and other assessments of iron compounds in the body are clinically significant. Iron-storage compounds in the body include hemoglobin, hemosiderin, myoglobulin and the cytochromes. In most tissues, ferrrtin is a major iron-storage protein. Human ferritin has a molecular weight of approximately 450,000 daltons, and consists of a protein shell around an iron core; each molecule of ferritin may contain as many as 4,000 iron atoms. Under normal conditions, this may represent 25% of the total iron found in the body. In addition, ferrritin can be found in several isomers. High concentrations of ferritin are found in the cytoplasm of the reticuloendothelial system, the liver, spleen and bone marrow. https://www.creative-diagnostics.com/T3-BSA-Conjugated-123958-219.htm.
