Iron metabolism by BeWo cells : the role of copper and iron in the regulation of placental iron transfer
In this thesis, the regulation of placental Fe metabolism is investigated, using a placental choriocarcinoma cell line (BeWo). Both copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) status are examined for a possible role in the process of placental Fe transfer. Firstly, the involvement of Cu in Fe release is tested. Cerul...
