Measurements of Body Iron Excretion of Healthy Adults

This study has been completed.

Sponsored by:	USDA Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center
Information provided by:	USDA Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00755105

Purpose

This is an observation study of subjects who previously had iron-55 isotope administered in studies of iron absorption. By determining the retention of the isotope in blood during a 3-year period, body iron excretion can be measured.
