The action of the collagen-Fe2+ complex at tissular level

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to know the iron dynamics and action of the collagen-Fe2+ complex at tissular level. The results showed that the collagen-Fe2+ complex is biocompatible at tissular level and the ferrous iron entered the animal organism on the well-known metabolic pathways. When a high dose of the complex was administered, an overloading with hemosiderin of macrophages and hepatocytes was noticed.
