Medicine/Biochemistry lesson on iron absorption, transport in the blood, metabolism and regulation of iron uptake in the body.

NOTE: There is a mistake in this video: ferritin binds to Fe3+ and not to Fe2+. Sorry for the confusion :)

Hey guys! In this video, I teach how iron is absorbed in the intestinal system, transported in the blood, metabolized and ultimately how iron uptake is down regulated to ensure excessive amounts of iron are not absorbed.
