Possible Interaction: Carbon Monoxide and Iron, Dietary

“Pretreatment of plasma with iron and carbon monoxide exposure markedly attenuated the effects of all three venoms, and direct pretreatment of each venom with carbon monoxide also significantly decreased the ability to compromise coagulation.”

“ CO interacts with reduced iron of heme-containing proteins, leading to its involvement in various cellular events via its production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS).”

“We conclude that CO reduces the iron content of the lung through both the metal uptake and release mechanisms.”

“Our studies demonstrate that subtle differences in the chemistry of NO and CO results in divergence of their ability to affect Fe metabolism.”

“Nevertheless, because CO can form ligands with iron (heme) and copper sites, the potential for metabolic intervention is likely.”

“CO, released from administered CORM‐3, significantly enhanced CH biosynthesis; a combination of CO and iron stimulated CH efflux.”

“Also, significant correlations between concentrations of Co and Fe in the Fe oxide bound fraction were present.”

“However, a negative correlation between concentrations of Co and Fe in the Mn oxide bound fraction was observed.”

“Our results indicate that the combination of Co and Fe dopants most improves the catalytic activity of the surface through the creation of multiple novel and active catalytic sites.”

“The co-existence of Fe and Co in various valence states in catalyst might improve the conversion of Co(III)/Co(II) and Fe(III)/Fe(II), which would increase the catalytic activity in catalytic ozonation process.”

“For small substitution degrees, only a slight increase in Hc was found for the increasing Co content, whereas for a substitution of more than 10% of the Fe atoms by Co , a strong linear increase in Hc and Mr/Ms was obtained.”
