homeostasis/metabolism
• young adults exhibit high transferrin saturation and a marked increase in serum ferritin levels
|
• increase in amylase and elastase levels but lower than in homozygotes
|
• increase in plasma lipase levels but lower than in homozygotes
|
• iron accumulation in the exocrine pancreas, but to a smaller extent than in homozygotes
|
• decrease in splenic iron levels at 8 and 24 weeks of age
• selective iron depletion is seen within iron-recycling macrophages of the red pulp
|
hematopoietic system
• decrease in splenic iron levels at 8 and 24 weeks of age
• selective iron depletion is seen within iron-recycling macrophages of the red pulp
|
cellular
• oxidative stress in the pancreas but less than in homozygotes
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• iron accumulation in the exocrine pancreas, but to a smaller extent than in homozygotes
|
immune system
• decrease in splenic iron levels at 8 and 24 weeks of age
• selective iron depletion is seen within iron-recycling macrophages of the red pulp
|
liver/biliary system
