Abstract
Evidence is presented for the existence of an intracellular pool of low molecular weight iron compounds which acts as an intermediate between extracellular iron and a wide variety of intracellular processes. It is in equilibrium with storage iron and iron enzymes and is of major importance in iron toxicity and chelation therapy.
