    This is also the case for Tamsulosin and it may be assumed that the others alpha-1 blockers work in a similar manner, since Tamsulosin is an alpha-1-a blocker and Prazosin is an alpha-1 blocker. [30] The risk for floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery is elevated when the patient is using an alpha-1 blocker.

  9. Human iron metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_iron_metabolism

    The human body needs iron for oxygen transport. Oxygen (O 2) is required for the functioning and survival of nearly all cell types. Oxygen is transported from the lungs to the rest of the body bound to the heme group of hemoglobin in red blood cells. In muscles cells, iron binds oxygen to myoglobin, which regulates its release.
