Rabbit reticulocytes were incubated with rabbit transferrin labelled with 59Fe and lZsI in media in which the NaCl was replaced by other electrolytes or sucrose. Iron and transferrin uptake by the cells was affected by changes in the pH, ionic strength, ionic composition, and the osmolarity of the m

## Abstract Reticulocytes suspended in low ionic strength media such as isotonic sucrose solution efficiently take up nonβtransferrinβbound iron and utilize it for heme synthesis. The present study was undertaken to determine how such media facilitate iron utilization by the cells. The effects of c
HFE-related hereditary hemochromatosis results in hepatic iron overload. Hepatocytes acquire transferrin-bound iron via transferrin receptor (Tfr) 1 and Tfr1-independent pathways (possibly Tfr2-mediated). In this study, the role of Hfe in the regulation of hepatic transferrin-bound iron uptake by th
