IRON AND IMMUNE RESPONSE

https://doi.org/10.51523/2708-6011.2011-8-4-7

Abstract

The present-day data on possible pathways of iron influence on human immune response and susceptibility to infections have been considered. The article describes changes of immunologic resistance in conditions of low iron level and mechanisms of iron status disturbance as a consequence of immunostimulation.
