Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common nutritional disease that affects normal erythropoiesis. Traditional iron supplements usually cause gastrointestinal irritation. In this study, a novel low-molecular-weight polysaccharide from Enteromorpha prolifera (LPE) was prepared by oxidation degradation, and LPE-iron (III) complex was synthesized and characterized. The molecular weight of LPE-iron (III) complex was 21.25kDa, and iron content was 25%. The therapeutic effects of LPE-iron (III) complex on IDA were investigated in rats. The hematological indices and organ coefficients of the rats were analyzed. Results showed a dose-dependent relationship, and a prior intragastric administration of LPE-iron (III) complex (2mg Fe/kg body weight) exhibited considerable effect when compared with the positive control. Therefore, LPE-iron (III) complex could be exploited as a new iron fortifier.
缺铁性贫血(IDA)是一种常见的营养性疾病,影响正常的红细胞生成。传统的铁补充剂通常会引起胃肠道刺激。本研究通过氧化降解制备了一种新型的浒苔低分子量多糖(LPE),并合成和表征了 LPE-铁(III)配合物。LPE-铁(III)配合物的分子量为 21.25kDa,铁含量为 25%。研究了 LPE-铁(III)配合物对 IDA 大鼠的治疗作用,分析了大鼠的血液学指标和器官系数。结果显示存在剂量依赖性关系,与阳性对照相比,预先经胃内给予 LPE-铁(III)配合物(2mg Fe/kg 体重)具有显著效果。因此,LPE-铁(III)配合物可用作新型铁强化剂。
