Summary: This study aimed to characterize placental iron content and concentration in pregnant women at risk of iron insufficiency and identify determinants of placental iron concentration. The results showed that placental iron content may be approximately 50% lower than previously estimated. Placental iron concentration was significantly associated with maternal iron status, but there were differences in iron partitioning between different age groups.

Summary: Pregnancy requires higher levels of nutrients, including iron, for the growth and maintenance of the fetus. Iron deficiency during pregnancy can lead to serious health issues, making iron supplementation essential for pregnant women. Studies suggest that lactoferrin can be an effective prophylaxis and treatment for iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy, offering various beneficial effects on iron homeostasis and overall health.

Summary: This study assessed the feasibility of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia surveillance among first-trimester pregnancies using electronic health records. It found that approximately 2.7% of pregnancies had anemia, with about half of those cases having both low hemoglobin and low hematocrit. Iron deficiency was present in approximately 26.8% of pregnancies with anemia and 23.5% of pregnancies without anemia.

Summary: The feasibility of monitoring anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia among pregnant women using electronic health records has been assessed. This method can be used to monitor the prevalence and trends of anemia in pregnant women, but obtaining representative estimates of iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia may be challenging if iron assessment is not routine.

Summary: Anemia affects 36% of pregnant women worldwide, with around 40% of cases being due to iron deficiency. Iron deficiency has negative impacts on placental development and iron uptake, fetal development and immunity, as well as maternal and infant susceptibility to infection.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of iron-rich foods (IRFs) on iron status and biomarkers of iron metabolism in late pregnancy. The results showed that IRFs can reduce the risk of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia in late pregnancy. However, the current results are inadequate to confirm the ideal dosage.

Summary: Antenatal multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) are more effective than iron and folic acid (IFA) supplements in reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes. MMS can also effectively prevent anemia, especially in areas with low daily iron intake and high anemia prevalence.

Summary: The impact of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and non-iron deficiency anemia (NIDA) on pregnancy and newborn outcomes, as well as the effectiveness of iron supplementation, remains uncertain. This study found that iron supplementation is effective even among pregnant women with NIDA.

Summary: Severe iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy may affect fetal and infant hemoglobin and iron stores, increasing the risk of anemia and iron deficiency at birth and 6-12 months of age. Iron supplementation during pregnancy may help prevent anemia and iron deficiency in both the mother and infant; however, further research is needed to determine its functional impact.

Summary: Iron is a crucial transition metal in physiological processes, but it can also be toxic due to its involvement in free radical formation. Impaired iron metabolism leads to iron deficiency, anemia, and iron overload, with different prevalences in transplant patients. Limited knowledge exists on iron metabolism in lung graft recipients and donors, complicated further by the potential impact of drugs. This overview highlights the importance of understanding iron turnover in transplant patients and assessing drug effects on iron metabolism for perioperative treatment in transplantology.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between first-trimester maternal serum hepcidin and third-trimester iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The study found that higher levels of first-trimester hepcidin were negatively associated with the risk of third-trimester IDA, suggesting that elevated hepcidin may predict a reduced risk for developing IDA.

Summary: Maternal iron deficiency has limited impact on placental gene expression in mice during mid-gestation, mainly mediated by IRE coordination of iron gene expression. Interestingly, sexually dimorphic effects of maternal iron deficiency on placental gene expression were observed, with more alterations in male mouse placentas.

Summary: During pregnancy, iron requirements increase significantly to support maternal and fetal development. While iron supplementation is common, excessive intake can also lead to adverse outcomes, especially in high-income countries where iron fortification and red meat consumption are prevalent.

Summary: The study found that three iron supplements improved hematological parameters in both mother and offspring rats, increased serum iron, transferrin saturation and serum ferritin levels, raised ferritin light chain levels in liver and spleen, enhanced the number of born alive per litter, and promoted physical growth and neurodevelopment of offspring rats. Iron supplementation also improved the expression of ferritin light chain and synaptic growth associated proteins in the brain and hippocampus.

Summary: Emulsification was effective in fortifying yogurt with vitamin E, with minor impact from thermal processing and chilled storage on the stability of the fortified samples. Vitamin E remained stable during storage and fortified samples exhibited increased antioxidant activity compared to non-fortified samples.

Summary: Only a small percentage of UK adults meet the daily recommendation for dietary fiber. Bean hull fortified bread was created to increase the intake of dietary fiber while reducing waste. This study found that bean hull rolls provide a high amount of dietary fiber but have poor systemic bioavailability, suggesting further processing is needed to improve their effectiveness.
