The study indicated that the intake of nutrients among the students was generally insufficient. The lack of protein, calcium, Vitamin A, Vitamin B_1, and Vitamin B_2 was more serious. The morbidities of IDA among male and female students were 15.8 and 32.6%, respectively, higher in the female group (P<0.01). The iron-deficiency sufferers among male and female students were 46.8 and 61.8%, respectively, also higher in the female group (P<0.01). The causes of IDA were analyzed by the method of stepwise regression. In a study of the effect of IDA on intelligence and physical development in adolescents, we found that there was no significant effect of IDA on intelligence quotient (IQ) and school performance. However, the speed and endurance capabilities of students of both sexes were correlated directly with hemoglobin level. In female students, the speed capability was correlated directly with the serum ferritin content. On the basis of these findings, a special 3-month school lunch program was initiated. The results indicate that a comprehensive, rational, and balanced diet is beneficial to hemoglobin, free erythrocyte porphyrin, and serum ferritin contents and improves adolescent development. 1990 Academic Press.

The rate of phyto-siderophore release of five gramineous species was as following: barley>oats>wheat>>maize>sorghum. The results showed that intercropping of peanut with five gramineous species could improve iron nutrition of peanut respectively. This indicated that root exudates, especially for phytosiderophore of gramineous plants played an important role in improvement of iron nutrition of peanut. Although phytosiderophore release rates of maize and sorghum were lower than those of barley, oats and wheat, the five gramineous species had the same effects on iron improvement of peanut. The less phytosiderophore release of maize was enough to improve iron nutrition of peanut in intercropping system. For every intercropping system, intercropping model I ( the ratio of gramineous plants : peanut : gramineous plants was 2 : 3:2) was much better in improvement of iron nutrition of peanut than that of intercropping model I (the ratio of gramineous plants : peanut: gramineous plants was 2: 6:2). This led to have greater rhizosphere effect of gramineous plants on iron nutrition of peanut in intercropping model I than intercropping model I .展开更多

Northern blotting was carried out using ATP-binding transporter (ABC) cDNA obtained from DDRT-PCR products of the cultivar Jing411 as probe. Our results suggested that ABC gene expression was suppressed under iron-deficiency condition.展开更多

Solubility of iron is very low in soils with high Eh and/or high pH. A field experiment with five different depth (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 cm) of groundwater, and a pot experiment with five treatments of ammonium nitrate ratio (100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 and 0/100) were conducted to study the characteristics of iron nutrition of rice in non full irrigation condition. Moreover, the contents of iron extracted by 1 mol L 1 HCl of rice plant samples of 8 cultivars from both aerobic and waterlogged cultivation were analyzed to study the effect of water regimes on iron content of rice plants. The results were as follows: (1) The average content of available Fe (2.70 mg kg 1 ) of 5 layers of the soil treated with 10 cm depth of groundwater was significantly higher than that (0.83 mg kg 1 ) with 50 cm depth of groundwater, and the iron concentration of rice plant of the former was much higher than that of the later. (2) Iron deficiency of rice became much severe when high ratio of nitrate (more than 75 percent) in nitrogen fertilizer applied at different intervals in aerobic cultivation. (3) The iron concentrations of 3 cultivars, Wuyujing3 (99 mg kg 1 ), Yangdao4 (87 mg kg 1 ) and 9520 (95 mg kg 1 ), of rice plants cultivated in aerobic condition were significantly less than those(195, 197 and 175 mg kg 1 ) respectively in waterlogged condition at tillering stage. And even much significant differences existed in the iron concentrations of different cultivars growing in the aerobic and waterlogged condition at maturity.展开更多

Most published work has focused on improving its yield, while few reported on its micronutrient status. In fact, Fe deficiency is a common nutritional problem in the production of aerobic rice. Short- term hydroponic culture experiments were conducted to study the response of aerobic rice to Fe deficiency and the effect of root exudates from Fe-deficient wheat on its Fe uptake ability. The results indicate that the amount of phytosiderophores (PS) released from aerobic rice did not increase under Fe deficient conditions. The Fe(III) reducing capacity of Fe-deficient aerobic rice did not increase and the solution pH did not decrease significantly. What's more, no obvious swelling was observed in the root tips. Aerobic rice did not show special responses to improve their Fe nutrition under Fe deficiency as both strategy I and II plants though they were very sensitive to Fe deficiency. This may be a reason which causes Fe deficiency problem in aerobic rice. However, root exudates from Fe-deficient wheat (PSw) could improve its Fe nutrition in the presence of insoluble Fe(OH)3. This suggests that aerobic rice could utilize Fe activated by PSw.展开更多

As iron treatments increase the risk of infection by stimulating the growth and virulence of bacterial pathogens, their roles in anti-infection immunity have frequently been underestimated. To estimate whether adequate dietary iron intake would help defend against pathogenic bacterial infection, mice were fed iron-deficient(2 mg kg-1feed), iron-sufficient(35 mg kg-1feed), or iron-enriched diet(350 mg kg-1feed) for 12 weeks, followed by oral infection with Salmonella typhimurium. Our results revealed that dietary iron intake improved mucus layer function and decelerated the invasion of the pathogenic bacteria, Salmonella typhimurium. Positive correlations between serum iron and the number of goblet cells and mucin2 were found in response to total iron intake in mice.Unabsorbed iron in the intestinal tract affected the gut microbiota composition, and the abundance of Bacteroidales, family Muribaculaceae, was positively correlated with their mucin2 expression. However, the results from antibiotic-treated mice showed that the dietary iron-regulated mucin layer function was not microbial-dependent. Furthermore, in vitro studies revealed that ferric citrate directly induced mucin2 expression and promoted the proliferation of goblet cells in both ileal and colonic organoids. Thus, dietary iron intake improves serum iron levels, regulates goblet cell regeneration and mucin layer function, and plays a positive role in the prevention of pathogenic bacteria.展开更多
