| ferriporphyrin chloride | <physiology> A substance, in the form of reddish brown, microscopic, prismatic crystals, formed from dried blood by the action of strong acetic acid and common salt; called also Teichmann's crystals. Chemically, it is a hydrochloride of haematin. The obtaining of these small crystals, from old blood clots or suspected blood stains, constitutes one of the best evidences of the presence of blood. Origin: Gr. Blood. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| ferriprive | Suffering from or characterised by iron deficiency. (18 Nov 1997) |

| ferro- | <chemistry, prefix> A prefix, or combining form, indicating ferrous iron as an ingredient; as, ferrocyanide. (29 Oct 1998) |
| ferrochelatase | <enzyme> An enzyme widely distributed in cells and tissues. It is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyses the formation of haem from protoporphyrin ix and ferrous ions during the terminal step in the haem biosynthetic pathway. Chemical name: Protoheme ferro-lyase Registry number: EC 4.99.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
