It is highly probable that the lack of iron in the plasma of infectious diseases is partly attributable to the disturbed transference of the ferritin iron into the plasma. In infectious diseases, of course, not only is there inhibition of the entry of iron into the plasma but there is also acceleration of the escape of iron from the plasma into the organs in which a more rapid metabolism now occurs. This is illustrated in Fig. 6, which presents experimental results obtained in our laboratory by Ehrenstein^-o\ who has compared the rate of escape of iron globulin, labeUed with iron, from the plasma of normal rabbits and rabbits infected with Pasteurella multicida. As has already been mentioned, an accelerated uptake of iron by the cells of the storage organs leads to an accelerated escape of iron ions from the plasma. Since, however, the level of iron in the infected plasma amounted only to about half of the normal, the amount of iron escaping from that plasma in unit time was not very much larger than that released from the plasma of normal Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hevesy, Georg von, 1885-1966.
