This study aimed to clarify the nature of storage iron turnover. Ferritin-hemosiderin iron transformation rate and the standard normal storage iron turnover rate were utilized in this study to describe the mechanism of iron absorption in relation to ferritin and hemosiderin iron turnover. The synchronization of radioiron uptake peaks by bone marrow and liver indicates that the distribution of radioiron is proportional to the pre-existing iron levels in organs at 24 h after radioiron injection. Moreover, the synchronization indicates the independence of iron mass from red cell precursors in acquiring plasma iron. Thus, the erythron does not dominate the radioiron uptake process. The inverse correlation between transformation rate and the amount of pre-existing iron storage implies that the intra-storage iron turnover is active in iron deficiency, but inactive in iron overload. The decreased ferritin/hemosiderin iron ratio in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) with normal iron storage suggests a trend of iron transformation from ferritin into hemosiderin. The correlation between the pretreatment iron storage and the speed of rebound in CHC implies that the vacant iron-storing rooms in iron-removed cells have a potential to increase iron absorption.
