Despite its abundance in the earth's crust, iron deficiency is a serious health issue in many parts of the world. Although fundamental observations about iron metabolism and the significance of iron nutriture were first noted some time ago, the molecular mechanisms involved in iron metabolism are just now being defined.Keywords
