The handicap principle is a disputed hypothesis proposed by the Israeli biologist Amotz Zahavi in 1975. It is meant to explain how "signal selection" during mate choice may lead to "honest" or reliable signalling between male and female animals which have an obvious motivation to bluff or deceive each other.
Iron can be stored in ferritin as ferric iron due to the ferroxidase activity of the ferritin heavy chain. [43] Dysfunctional ferritin may accumulate as hemosiderin, which can be problematic in cases of iron overload. [44] The ferritin storage iron pool is much larger than the labile iron pool, ranging in concentration from 0.7 mM to 3.6 mM. [40]
Iron is also the most abundant transition metal in the human body and it is used in various processes like oxygen transport and ATP production. It plays a key role in the function of enzymes like cytochrome a , b and c as well as iron-sulfur complexes which play an important role in ATP production. [ 13 ]
Virtually all this iron is in the iron(III) state and complexed to organic ligands. [38] These low levels of iron limit the primary production of phytoplankton and have led to the Iron Hypothesis [39] where it was proposed that an influx of iron would promote phytoplankton growth and thereby reduce atmospheric CO 2. This hypothesis has been ...
Iron plays many roles in human biology, specifically in oxygen transport, short-term oxygen storage, and metabolism [44] Iron also plays a role in the body's immune system. [4] Current biomedical research aims to use iron isotopes to better understand the speciation of iron in the body, with hopes of eventually being able to reduce the ...
