Possible Interaction: Glycine and Iron, Dietary

“ Glycine (10 mM) supplementation, on the other hand, reduced all the iron (FeSO4) induced apoptotic indices.”

“ Iron was absorbed to a statistically significantly greater extent (p less than 0.05) when mixed with asparagine, glycine , serine, or ascorbic acid as compared with a control solution of iron.”

“In a quantitative 6-group technique α -aminoacetic acid effected a statistically significant increase in mortality rate of iron.”

“Moreover, the levels of carbohydrates (glucose, sucrose, and fructose), minerals iron , calcium, magnesium, and potassium), amino acids (serine, glutamic acids, glycine , methionine, lysine, arginine, and proline), and antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase) were significantly enhanced in sole and co-inoculated plants under control and stress conditions.”

“However, the application of glycine significantly enhanced the translocation of Fe and Na in the shoot.”

“DFT calculations demonstrated that glycine can combine with iron to suppress hydrolysis and crossover of Fe3+ /Fe2+ .”

“Electrochemical investigations showed that tartrate and glycine have inhibitory influence on anodic dissolution of iron at pH 2 and enhance it at pH 4.”

“In the glycine-buffered system, interactions between iron and glycine may influence the concentration of arsenic in solution, which may not be consistent with human gastrointestinal conditions.”

“The presence of iron in the incubation medium reduced the amount of glycine incorporated into carotenes and xanthophylls, except where the tissue was severely chlorotic.”
