The human body has a daily requirement for iron, which it needs to make hemoglobin -- the oxygen-carrying compound in blood -- and myoglobin, a related compound that handles oxygen in the muscles.

WE have prepared complexes of imidazole, 1-methyl imidazole and 4-methyl imidazole with various species of myoglobin, and crystallized them in forms previously described 1; the X-ray diffraction ...

2. The body needs iron to produce hemoglobin and myoglobin, proteins that transport oxygen from the lungs to muscles and throughout the body. Types of Iron 1. Heme Iron: Found in meat, fish ...

The body of an adult human contains around four grams (0.005% body weight) of the chemical element, iron. It is contained mostly in hemoglobin and myoglobin. These two proteins play essential roles in ...

In addition, we highlight two occurrences among fish living in iron-poor regions that would conceivably be beneficial given iron scarcity: the absence of hemoglobin in Antarctic icefish, and the ...

Iron deficiency may be linked to non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease and mortality in patients without anemia, according to results of a nationwide cohort study.While iron is a key component ...

Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. We also need iron to make myoglobin, which is a protein that carries oxygen to muscles. There are different types of iron.
