Article Abstract
Background: Left ventricular (LV) remodeling and diastolic function in people with heart failure (HF) are correlated with iron status; however, the causality is uncertain. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study investigated the bidirectional causal relationship between systemic iron parameters and LV structure and function in a preserved ejection fraction population.
Methods: Transferrin saturation (TSAT), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and serum iron and ferritin levels were extracted as instrumental variables for iron parameters from meta-analyses of public genome-wide association studies. Individuals without myocardial infarction history, HF, or LV ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% ( = 16,923) in the UK Biobank Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study constituted the outcome dataset. The dataset included LV end-diastolic volume, LV end-systolic volume, LV mass (LVM), and LVM-to-end-diastolic volume ratio (LVMVR). We used a two-sample bidirectional MR study with inverse variance weighting (IVW) as the primary analysis method and estimation methods using different algorithms to improve the robustness of the results.
Results: In the IVW analysis, one standard deviation (SD) increased in TSAT significantly correlated with decreased LVMVR (β = -0.1365; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.2092 to -0.0638; = 0.0002) after Bonferroni adjustment. Conversely, no significant relationships were observed between other iron and LV parameters. After Bonferroni correction, reverse MR analysis showed that one SD increase in LVEF significantly correlated with decreased TSAT (β = -0.0699; 95% CI: -0.1087 to -0.0311; = 0.0004). No heterogeneity or pleiotropic effects evidence was observed in the analysis.
Conclusions: We demonstrated a causal relationship between TSAT and LV remodeling and function in a preserved ejection fraction population.

Vitamins and Iron-Deficiency Gestational Anemia - A Review.
J Diet Suppl
September 2025
Division of Medical Research, SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, India.
Vitamins, as essential m icronutrients, are vital for numerous cellular functions and play a key role in maintaining hematological parameter s during pregnancy, including erythropoiesis and processes affecting iron status. Iron-Deficient Gestational Anemia (IDGA), the most common clinicopathological condition in obstetrics and highly prevalent in developing countries, significantly contributes to complications such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational diabetes. While it is recognized that vitamin deficiencies impact iron metabolism and erythropoiesis, a complete understanding of their specific roles in preventing and managing IDGA is lacking.

Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with various adverse pregnancy outcomes, including disruption of placental function and fetal development. Iron transport through the placenta is crucial for fetal growth, and transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2) plays a key role in iron homeostasis. However, the effect of excessive GWG on placental TfR2 expression and neonatal iron parameters remains unclear.

Background: Golf is a sophisticated sport that integrates precision, skillfulness, and strategic thinking, with swing techniques of different clubs exhibiting distinct biomechanical characteristics. This study aims to investigate the biomechanical characteristics of golfers' full swings with different clubs from kinematic and dynamics perspectives, thereby providing insights for optimizing full swing techniques.
Methods: Ten low-handicap right-handed college male golfers were recruited, and their full swing parameters with the driver, 5-iron, and 7-iron (each club was successfully collected 10 times) were synchronously collected using a 250 Hz infrared motion capture system and a 1000 Hz three-dimensional force platform.
Background: Anemia is common in hemodialysis patients, and iron supplementation is essential for its management. However, the impact of baseline inflammation on the efficacy of oral versus intravenous iron remains unclear.
Methods: This post hoc analysis of the IHOPE trial included 193 maintenance hemodialysis patients stratified by median baseline high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).
Development of Zebrafish model for Iron Induced Neuroinflammation.

Zebrafish models have been used to research Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders because of their similarities to the human genetic composition and behavior. Researchers have detected iron accumulation in the post-mortem brain sections of neurodegenerative disorder patients. Therefore, the development an animal model to simulate these clinical pathological findings is important.
