Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis of frozen serum from myocardial infarction patients has been conducted. Signal at g=4.3 was found definitively attributable to iron(III)-transferrin complex. Imcrease of serum ceruloplasmin as compared to normal was confirmed, with a concomitant decrease of iron-transferrin content. A mechanism for such correlated variation is hypothesized.
