Comparative intrafollicular and plasma iron, ferritin, and transferrin concentrations in cycling mares
Based on this evidence, it is possible that the acquisition of this molecule possibly originated from a local <i>de novo</i> source, whereas their diffusion through ultrafiltration does not play a relevant role. These results provide new scientific insights into the status of follicle Fe, suggesting its involvement in normal ovarian functions in mares.
