Serum iron and iron-binding capacity in adolescents: II. Comparison of obese and nonobese subjects
CC Seltzer, J MAYER - The American journal of clinical nutrition, 1963 - Elsevier
SUMMARY A comparison of obese and nonobese adolescents with respect to certain
variables of blood chemistry connected with iron transport gave the following results:(1)
Male and female obese adolescents are significantly different from their nonobese
counterparts in serum iron concentration, unsaturated iron-binding capacity and percentage
saturation of plasma transferrin. The obese subjects have considerably lower mean serum
iron values, substantially higher unsaturated iron-binding capacities and decidedly lower …
