The amount of iron absorbed is highly influenced by the content of iron in the body. But other factors related to the subject can also participate.
Body iron stores: Iron stores constitute the primary factor regulating iron absorption, and with the amount of iron to which intestinal cells have been exposed constitute the main factors regulating iron absorption, but the mechanisms involved are still not clear.
Transferrin in the intestinal cell constitutes another factor in the regulation of iron absorption. When iron stores decrease transferrin concentration increases in the enterocyte, increasing iron absorption.
