| Abstract | Duodenal cytochrome b (Dcytb, Cybrd1) is a ferric reductase localized in the duodenum that is highly upregulated in circumstances of increased iron absorption. To address the contribution of Dcytb to total duodenal ferric reductase activity as well as its wider role in iron metabolism, we first measured duodenal ferric reductase activity in wild-type (WT) and Dcytb knockout (Dcytb(-/-)) mice under 3 conditions known to induce gut ferric reductase: dietary iron deficiency, hypoxia, and pregnancy. Dcytb(-/-) and WT mice were randomly assigned to control (iron deficiency experiment, 48 mg/kg dietary iron; hypoxia experiment, normal atmospheric pressure; pregnancy experiment, nonpregnant animals) or treatment (iron deficiency experiment, 2-3 mg/kg dietary iron; hypoxia experiment, 53.3 kPa pressure; pregnancy experiment, d 20 of pregnancy) groups and duodenal reductase activity measured. We found no induction of ferric reductase activity in Dcytb(-/-) mice under any of these conditions, indicating there are no other inducible ferric reductases present in the duodenum. To test whether Dcytb was required for iron absorption in conditions with increased erythropoietic demand, we also measured tissue nonheme iron levels and hematological indices in WT and Dcytb(-/-) mice exposed to hypoxia. There was no evidence of gross alterations in iron absorption, hemoglobin, or total liver nonheme iron in Dcytb(-/-) mice exposed to hypoxia compared with WT mice. However, spleen nonheme iron was significantly less (6.7 ± 1.0 vs. 12.7 ± 0.9 nmol · mg tissue(-1); P < 0.01, n = 7-8) in hypoxic Dcytb(-/-) compared with hypoxic WT mice and there was evidence of impaired reticulocyte hemoglobinization with a lower reticulocyte mean corpuscular hemoglobin (276 ± 1 vs. 283 ± 2 g · L(-1); P < 0.05, n = 7-8) in normoxic Dcytb(-/-) compared with normoxic WT mice. We therefore conclude that DCYTB is the primary iron-regulated duodenal ferric reductase in the gut and that Dcytb is necessary for optimal iron metabolism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
