Iron intake affects lipid peroxidation and glutathione peroxidase activity of distal colonic mucosa

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of low, adequate, and high dietary iron (Fe) levels on lipid peroxidation, glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities, and glutathione (GSH) concentrations in colon and liver. Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed ir...

Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of low, adequate, and high dietary iron (Fe) levels on lipid peroxidation, glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities, and glutathione (GSH) concentrations in colon and liver. Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed iron deficient (DFe; 14 mg Fe/kg diet; n=8), adequate iron (AFe; 39 mg Fe/kg diet, n=8), or high iron (HFe; 454 mg Fe/kg diet; n=8) diets for 3 weeks. Liver Fe concentrations were 26, 84, and 243 ug/g wet weight, respectively, for rats fed DFe, AFe, and HFe diets (p
