Background: β-thalassemia minor is characterized by reduced β-haemoglobin chain synthesis and sometimes mild anaemia, although carriers of β-thalassemia minorare usually clinically asymptomatic.Nonspecific abdominal complaints may be caused by gastrointestinal carbohydrate malabsorption (lactose and
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) associated with horizontal attenuated total reflectance (HATR) was firstly used to diagnose beta-thalassemia patients. With excellent linearity (r = 0.997) and reproducibility (RSD < 4%), FTIR-HATR shows an order-of-magnitude increase in IR absorption
Insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus are common consequences of iron overload in the pancreas of beta-thalassemia major (BTM) patients. Moreover, postprandial blood glucose elevations are linked to major vascular complications. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a bout
BACKGROUND
Beta-thalassemia causes a severe hemolytic anemia in patients necessitating frequent transfusions leading to iron overload and endocrine complications, especially diabetes mellitus. We tried to determine the change or effect on carbohydrate physiology and oxidation markers and the
An investigation on eating habits of a group of 40 patients with beta-thalassemia major has been carried out mainly to evidentiate iron intake whose absorption is strikingly increased in this disease. Questionnaires were used to obtain information. Daily food intake, the mean consumption of various
Growth failure is a common complication in children with beta-thalassemia major (β-TM) that has persisted despite major treatment advances. It could stem from malnutrition, especially in those who live in poor countries and who have inadequate nutrient The specificity of antibodies bound to senescent red cells has been assessed by elution analysis with various carbohydrates. A large proportion of these antibodies bound to normal senescent red cells and some pathologic red cells display a specificity to alpha-galactosyl carbohydrates. Anti-Gal
Iron is an essential mineral for normal cellular physiology, but an excess can result in cell injury. Iron in low-molecular-weight forms may play a catalytic role in the initiation of free radical reactions. The resulting oxyradicals have the potential to damage cellular lipids, nucleic acids,
