[Plasma proteins in iron transport].
This study deals with the effects of iron overloading on total iron-binding capacity TIBC) in fasting subjects. Overloading was obtained by oral administration of 198 mg. ferrous gluconate. The method of Bothwell and Mallet was used for plasma iron determination; the Mg CO3 methods was used for TIBC. It was that normal subjects as well as hyperthyroid, hypothyroid goiter patients showed an increase of TIBC under these conditions. These results could be explained either on the basis of functional heterogeneity of transferrin bound iron, or of a new protein.
