O FERRO E SEU METABOLISMO: PRINCIPAIS ASPECTOS SOBRE SUAS PROPRIEDADES

In this article, we carried out an analysis of the main aspects related to iron metabolism, as the understanding on this subject has been greatly intensified in recent years. The understanding of this subject has been greatly increased in recent years, while a simple harmony between the processes of absorption, metabolization and distribution of this ion are already sufficient to guarantee the supply of such nutrient in our body. The identification of certain genes that encode specific proteins participating in such homeostasis has stimulated the development of several studies on the subject in the current scientific environment. This article details the main enzymes and proteins participating in the iron cycle in the human body, also identifying their applications and uses, and also highlighting the role of this nutrient in the functioning of the body
