Serum Iron

Iron is one of the most important trace elements, participating in many vital processes, such as oxygen transport and redox processes in the cell. Iron is part of cytochromes, ensuring cellular respiration processes. It plays a very important role in hematopoiesis and the functioning of the immune system. The body normally contains about 4-5 grams of iron, with 70% of it being part of hemoglobin. Iron enters the body with food; it is found in large quantities in meat, fish (heme iron), and in many vegetables and fruits (non-heme iron).
