Article Abstract
Iron-responsive manganese uptake is increased in iron-deficient rats, suggesting that toxicity related to manganese exposure could be modified by iron status. To explore possible interactions, the distribution of intranasally-instilled manganese in control and iron-deficient rat brain was characterized by quantitative image analysis using T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Manganese accumulation in the brain of iron-deficient rats was doubled after intranasal administration of MnCl(2) for 1- or 3-week. Enhanced manganese level was observed in specific brain regions of iron-deficient rats, including the striatum, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. Iron-deficient rats spent reduced time on a standard accelerating rotarod bar before falling and with lower peak speed compared to controls; unexpectedly, these measures of motor function significantly improved in iron-deficient rats intranasally-instilled with MnCl(2). Although tissue dopamine concentrations were similar in the striatum, dopamine transporter (DAT) and dopamine receptor D(1) (D1R) levels were reduced and dopamine receptor D(2) (D2R) levels were increased in manganese-instilled rats, suggesting that manganese-induced changes in post-synaptic dopaminergic signaling contribute to the compensatory effect. Enhanced olfactory manganese uptake during iron deficiency appears to be a programmed "rescue response" with beneficial influence on motor impairment due to low iron status.

Iron deficiency anaemia is a global health issue affecting millions of people. Though effective, conventional iron sources used for supplementation often cause gastrointestinal side effects. This preclinical study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of three iron supplements-ferrous bisglycinate, LIPOFER™ microcapsules (Def-LFe1), and a commercially available microencapsulated iron pyrophosphate (Def-Fe2)-in reversing diet-induced iron deficiency in rats compared to FeSO.

Clinical studies have reported that anemic patients with lower back pain exhibit significantly more severe lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration compared to non-anemic individuals. Given that iron deficiency (ID) is the leading cause of anemia, we hypothesized that ID may disrupt IVD metabolism-particularly extracellular matrix synthesis-thereby contributing to aberrant disc development and degeneration. To investigate this, we established an iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) rat model via an iron-deficient diet and induced IVD degeneration through needle puncture.

This study investigates the influence of multistrain probiotics and iron supplementation on the distribution and interaction of trace elements in the kidneys of Wistar rats using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) bioimaging. Forty 6-week-old female Wistar rats were divided into five groups, each fed an AIN-93 M diet with varying additions or deficiencies of iron and probiotics, which included a control, an iron-deficient diet, an iron-deficient diet with probiotics, an iron-deficient diet with iron supplementation, and an iron-deficient diet with both probiotics and iron supplementation. The obtained two-dimensional maps of the distribution of elements reveal distinct locations of Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn in specific tissues of rat kidneys.

Article Synopsis
- A high-fat, iron-deficient diet can cause obesity and disrupt iron metabolism, so this study examined how two bacteria, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Latilactobacillus curvatus, affect iron absorption in rats on this diet.
- Over an 8-week period, rats were fed different diets, some supplemented with iron and the bacteria, while others were not, allowing researchers to analyze changes in iron levels in the duodenum and serum.
- Results showed that both bacteria, especially when combined with iron supplementation, significantly improved iron content and related transport proteins in the duodenum compared to those on a high-fat diet alone, suggesting potential health benefits for improving iron uptake under high-fat conditions.
