The mechanisms of iron accumulation by cultured hepatocytes isolated from fetal rat liver (19 days gestation) were investigated using rat transferrin labeled with ' ' ' 1
The mechanism of iron uptake from transferrin by the rat placenta in culture has been studied. Transferrin endocytosis preceded iron accumulation by the cells. Both transferrin internalisation and iron uptake were inhibited by low temperature. Transferrin endocytosis was less susceptible to the effe
## 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
