Perturbation of monocyte subsets in iron-deficient children - a shift to a pro-inflammatory state?

CONCLUSION: This is the first study done on monocyte subsets in iron-deficient children. Decrease in nonclassical monocytes observed may be associated with a pro-inflammatory state and increased risk of inflammatory and auto immune diseases. Follow-up studies are needed to confirm these findings.PMID:34761655 | DOI:10.15586/aei.v49i6.91
