Iron and Neurotransmitter Function in the Brain

摘要: Iron involvement in basic cell functions as well many human diseases has been described excellent reviews (see, for example, Lauffer, 1992). Neural cells, like any other type, require iron DNA synthesis, mitochondrial respiration, and vitally important reactions. They are, on the hand, susceptible to toxicity caused by overload. But most remarkable characteristic of neural cells is observed only metacellular level: Neurons are organized a network, which used collecting analyzing incoming information producing an adequate response. This response can include regulation non-neuronal systems.
