Abstract Malaria parasites have evolved unusual metabolic adaptations that specialize them for growth within heme-rich human erythrocytes. During blood-stage infection, Plasmodium falciparum parasites ...

Researchers identified a significant link between heme iron—iron found in red meat and other animal products —and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), as well as the metabolic pathways underlying the link.

They identified several metabolic biomarkers associated with insulin resistance and inflammation that were elevated in participants with higher heme iron intake. The study found no significant ...

Higher intake of heme iron, the type found in red meat and other animal products - as opposed to non-heme iron, found mostly in plant-based foods - was associated with a higher risk of developing ...
