1. Factors Influencing Iron Dialyzability and Uptake in In Vitro Models
Abstract : The availability or iron from a meal is influenced by numerous factors. This thesis deals with three of them: organic acids, plant proteins (pea and soy), and transit time through the stomach and small intestine. READ MORE

2. Structural Insights into the Acquisition and Storage of Iron
Abstract : It is of vital importance to understand the systems for iron metabolism and this thesis contributes to this by providing insights into the structure and function of the acquisition and homeostasis of iron. The two proteins that have been primarily investigated are a ferric reductase from Arabidopsis thaliana called FRO2 and a mitochondrial iron chaperone from Saccharomyces cerevisiae called frataxin.

3. Oligomerization of human and bacterial frataxin : Structural and functional studies
Abstract : Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease caused by defeciency in frataxin, a highly conserved protein central to iron homeostasis in mirochondria. The function of frataxin is related to its capability to bind, store and deliver iron to different biochemical process such as iron-sulfur cluster assembly and heme biosynthesis. READ MORE

4. Iron and macrophages in atherogenesis
Abstract : Oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) may result in its uptake by macrophages and ensuing foam cell formation. Thus, oxidised LDL may play an important role in atherogenesis. Extensive in vitro evidences are in favour of the notion that LDL oxidation by cells present in atherosclerotic plaques requires the presence of transition metals. READ MORE

5. Recycling of Steel Grinding Swarf via Production of Iron Chloride Coagulants for Water Treatment
Abstract : Grinding swarf is a hazardous waste generated in the manufacturing industry when making products out of iron and steel. Annually 10-12 million tons are generated worldwide, and these numbers are projected to grow with steel production and industrialization of developing countries. READ MORE
