Entry term(s) hierro de la dieta
Scope note: Hierro o compuestos de hierro presentes en los ALIMENTOS Y BEBIDAS o en los SUPLEMENTOS DIETÉTICOS. El hierro es importante para el transporte de OXÍGENO y para la síntesis de las proteínas ferroporfirínicas tales como la HEMOGLOBINA, la MIOGLOBINA y los CITOCROMOS. La escasez de hierro en la dieta puede dar lugar a DEFICIENCIAS DE HIERRO.
