Abstract
Phlebotomies are performed in hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) to maintain normal iron concentrations. Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) can reduce the number of phlebotomies in patients with HH. However, in patients without HH, the iron concentrations do not appear to be compromised when using PPIs. Therefore, we aim to explain the differences in iron absorption between patients with and without HH. In 10 p.cysteine282tyrosine (p.C282Y) homozygous HH patients with normalized iron stores and 10 healthy control subjects (HCs), the iron parameters and hepcidin concentrations were determined before ingestion of a pharmacological dose of 50 mg iron [ferric iron (Fe3+)] polymaltose and hourly for 4 h afterward. This was repeated after 7 days of treatment with pantoprazole 40 mg once daily. Serum iron concentrations and transferrin saturation percentages dropped significantly during PPI use in the patients with HH, whereas no changes were observed in the HCs. Hepcidin concentrations were lower in the patients with HH compared with the HCs both before and during PPI use. In both groups, hepcidin levels did not significantly decrease during the treatment. Seven-day PPI use significantly reduces iron absorption in patients with HH but not in HCs. Changes in hepcidin concentrations could not explain these different PPI effects on iron absorption probably due to a small sample size.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study confirms that lowering gastric acidity by proton pump inhibitors results in a reduction in iron absorption in patients with hemochromatosis and not in healthy control subjects. The presupposition that a decrease in hepcidin concentration in healthy control subjects in response to lowering gastric acidity can explain the difference in iron absorption between these groups could not be confirmed probably because of a small sample size.

Curr Dev Nutr 2017; 1:e001081. [PMID: 29955679 PMCID: PMC5998780 DOI: 10.3945/cdn.117.001081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2017] [Revised: 05/24/2017] [Accepted: 09/10/2017] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Repeated phytic acid consumption leads to iron absorption adaptation but, to the best of our knowledge, the impact of repeated tannin consumption has not yet been established. Salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs) may improve iron absorption by precipitating tannins. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of long-term, dose-response condensed tannin supplementation on iron bioavailability and status and to assess the effect of salivary proteins on iron bioavailability during prolonged condensed tannin consumption. A secondary objective was to assess astringency as a potential marker for adaptation to tannins and iron bioavailability. Methods: Eleven nonanemic women were enrolled in a double-blind 3-dose crossover trial. Three (1.5, 0.25, or 0.03 g) condensed tannin supplements were consumed 3 times/d for 4 wk in random order, with 2-wk washouts in between. Meal challenges were employed before and after supplementation to assess iron bioavailability, iron status, salivary PRP changes, and astringency. Results: Tannin supplementation in any dose did not change iron bioavailability at any dose (P > 0.82) from weeks 0 to 4. Hemoglobin (P = 0.126) and serum ferritin (P = 0.83) were unchanged by tannin dose from weeks 0 to 4. There were significant correlations among tannin supplementation and iron bioavailability, basic proline-rich proteins (bPRPs) (r = 0.366, P = 0.003), and cystatin production (r = 0.27, P = 0.03). Astringency ratings did not change significantly within or between tannin doses (P > 0.126), but there were negative relations among bPRP (r < -0.32, P < 0.21), cystatin production (r < -0.2, P < 0.28), and astringency ratings. Conclusions: Condensed tannin consumption did not affect iron bioavailability or status regardless of the supplementation period in premenopausal nonanemic women. Correlation analyses suggest that bPRPs and cystatins are associated with improved iron bioavailability and that lower ratings of astringency may predict improved iron absorption with repeated tannin consumption.

Abstract
The absorption of different iron sources is a trending research topic. Many studies have revealed that organic iron exhibits better bioavailability than inorganic iron, but the concrete underlying mechanism is still unclear. In the present study, we examined the differences in bioavailability of ferrous sulfate and ferrous glycinate in the intestines of SD rats using Illumina sequencing technology. Digital gene expression analysis resulted in the generation of almost 128 million clean reads, with expression data for 17,089 unigenes. A total of 123 differentially expressed genes with a |log2(fold change)| >1 and q-value < 0.05 were identified between the FeSO4 and Fe-Gly groups. Gene Ontology functional analysis revealed that these genes were involved in oxidoreductase activity, iron ion binding, and heme binding. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis also showed relevant important pathways. In addition, the expression patterns of 9 randomly selected genes were further validated by qRT-PCR, which confirmed the digital gene expression results. Our study showed that the two iron sources might share the same absorption mechanism, and that differences in bioavailability between FeSO4 and Fe-Gly were not only in the absorption process but also during the transport and utilization process.
