Obesity and iron deficiency (ID) are widespread health issues, with subclinical inflammation in obesity potentially contributing to ID through unclear mechanisms. The aim of the present work was to elucidate how obesity-associated inflammation disturb iron metabolism and to investigate the effect of intravenous (IV) iron supplementation on absolute iron deficient pre-obese (BMI 25.0-29.

Phostensin (PTS) encoded by KIAA1949 binds to protein phosphatase 1, F-actin, Eps 15 homology domain-containing protein 1 (EHD1) and EHD4.
