Calcium effect on gene expression of proteins involved on iron absorption by Caco 2 cells

ABSTRACT: Calcium is the only dietary factor that affects both non-heme and heme iron absorption in humans. Mechanisms behind this effect are not elucidated. An hypothesis is that calcium may modify gene expression of proteins involved in iron absorption. An interesting experimental model for evalua...
