Abstract

Electronic states of iron ion complexes in human blood from patients with melanoma have been investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The measurements were performed at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) on an X-band EPR spectrometer. Numerous types of iron paramagnetic centers have been identified. In several kinds of protein complexes exemplified by methemoglobin, transferrin or ferritin, various forms of trivalent iron have been found. Three groups of patients with typical EPR spectra have been individualized. These groups differed in types and concentration of paramagnetic centers in peripheral blood. A good correlation has been found between the EPR results, the total iron ion complexes concentration and transferrin saturation. © 2011 The Author(s).
