title: [Increased levels of transferrin in the rabbit heart muscle in experimental myocardial infarction].
abstract: Concentration of transferrin was distinctly increased in the infarction zone of heart muscle of rabbits with experimental myocardium infarction within 24 hrs and 168 hrs after coronary occlusion. Under conditions of cell lysis apotransferrin appears to bind free iron in rabbit heart muscle. The data obtained suggest that apotransferrin may serve as a screening agent of free iron, while caeruloplasmin is able to exhibit the superoxide dismutase activity.
