Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We reported the possibility that "short acting mucosal block" can be seen at low concentrations and in a short time and induced even with supplement intake. This phenomenon is observed only in iron deficient mucosa with increased iron absorption and the iron concentration in the duodenum needs to be monitored because iron absorption turns to suppression. In this study, we developed a program to quantitatively analyze DMT1 isomer expression and intracellular localization in duodenum frozen section, and examined in expression and localization in response to iron administration. The small intestine was much more rapidly degraded than other tissues, and it was difficult to produce sections usable for immunostaining and quantitative analysis. The effect of iron deficiency on each isomer expressions and the effect of iron administration on their localization were analyzed. The internalization of DMT1 to cytoplasm was observed in a short time of 15 to 30 minutes after iron administration.
