DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2018.09.041
Abstract: ABSTRACT This review discusses the chemical mechanisms of ascorbate‐dependent reduction and solubilization of ferritin's ferric iron core and subsequent release of ferrous iron. The process is accelerated by low concentrations of Fe(II) that increase ferritin's… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myac056
Abstract: Ferritin, a major iron storage protein in vertebrates, supplies iron upon iron deficiency. Ferritin is also found extracellularly, and acts as an iron carrier and a contributor to the immune response to invading microbes. Some… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.11.03.515078
Abstract: Ferritin is the primary iron storage protein in mammalian cells and is necessary for cellular iron homeostasis. Its ability to sequester iron protects cells from rising concentrations of ferrous iron limiting oxidative cell damage. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/life12122119
Abstract: Background: Emerging evidence suggests an intricate relationship between vitamin D, Ca2+, and inflammation-driven anemia. We, thus, investigated the patterns of serum 25(OH)D3, Ca2+, ferritin, and iron in healthy and anemic members of the Saudi population.… read more here.
