Possible Interaction: Central Nervous System Stimulants and Iron, Dietary

“In conclusion, iron may stimulate the expression of pro-inflammatory genes (TNF-α and IL- 6), and both hepcidin and ferritin gene expression levels could be a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes.”

“Although in vitro effects of iron are known to stimulate bacterial growth, a higher IV dose of iron may not increase the risk of infection in such patients.”

“In addition to ESAs, intravenous iron preparations which are commonly used to replenish iron stores in hemodialysis patients can intensify oxidative stress, stimulate monocyte activation and adhesion and promote vascular remodel- ing (17, 18), events that can potentially facilitate target ves- sel re-stenosis following stint placement.”

“The addition of iron to the cultures can stimulate the growth of mutants back to wild-type levels.”

“Furazolidone like doxorubicin stimulates lipid peroxidation in the presence of added iron.”

“In wild-type Citrobacter rodentium, the presence of increasing subtoxic concentrations of iron was found to stimulate OMV production 4- to 9-fold above baseline.”

“FIT activity is regulated by protein-protein interactions, which also serve to integrate external signals that stimulate and possibly inhibit Fe uptake.”

“This synergism broadens the range of substrates available for iron reduction, stimulates the extent and rate of organic electron donor degradation (and that of iron reduction) and enhances the growth of each participant.”
