Table 1 Estimated concentrations of ferritin molecules, derived from measured iron concentrations with the iron load parameter \(N_{\mathrm{Fe}}\) in Fe atoms per ferritin molecule (Fe/Ft) according Eq. 1
From: Iron concentrations in neurons and glial cells with estimates on ferritin concentrations
| Â | Fe conc. (mM) | Estimate of ferritin concentration | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
@1200 Fe/Ft (\(\upmu \hbox {m}^{-3}\)) | @1800 Fe/Ft (\(\upmu \hbox {m}^{-3}\)) | @2400 Fe/Ft (\(\upmu \hbox {m}^{-3}\)) | ||
Neurons | 0.57 | 270 | 180 | 130 |
Astrocytes | 1.29 | 580 | 390 | 290 |
Microglia | 1.76 | 790 | 530 | 400 |
Oligodendrocytes | 3.05 | 1380 | 920 | 690 |
