Iron Dysregulation and Neurodegeneration: The Molecular Connection

Lee, D. W.·2006·Molecular Interventions

Abstract

Iron is essential for many biological processes however excess concentrations can be harmful to many tissues. Its amounts must therefore be carefully regulated in all cells of the body including those in the brain. Increased amounts of iron have been reported in many neurodegenerative disorders. Whether this increased iron contributes to neurodegeneration has been considered controversial. In this review, we discuss some recently identified anomalies in proteins linked with iron metabolism which signify a critical role for iron dysregulation in neurodegeneration.

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Ferritin H-deficient mice synthesize ferritins consisting of only L-subunit homopolymers, which lack ferroxidase activity and have lower iron-incorporation capability.

    “the synthesized ferritins consist of only L-subunit homopolymers (85), which lack ferroxidase activity and has lower iron-incorporation capability (183).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
