Serum iron concentrations following administration of two different iron preparations.

Serum iron curves were determined in two groups of iron deficient patients after oral administration of iron protein succinylate or ferritin. The two preparations induced a significant increase of serum iron from 30 min after administration of a dose corresponding to 80 mg Fe3+. The increase induced by iron protein succinylate was more prolonged than that of ferritin.
