Carbon Monoxide Reversibly Alters Iron Homeostasis and Respiratory Epithelial Cell Function

The dissociation of iron from heme is a major factor in iron metabolism and the cellular concentrations of the metal correlate with heme degradation. We tested the hypotheses that (1) exposure to a product of heme catabolism, carbon monoxide (CO), alters iron homeostasis in the lung and in cultured...
