Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article.

Abstract

26

Background. Iron deficiency is a leading global nutritional problem. Ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) is

27

the most common iron source used for supplementation. Because of many side effects associated

28

with its consumption, it is important to identify new forms of iron. Objectives. To assess the

29

bioavailability of iron-enriched Aspergillus oryzae, Aspiron® (ASP), evaluate the toxicity of

30

high-dose iron supplementation with ASP; and determine ASP impact on gut microbiota in rats.

31

Methods. In this study, we investigated iron bioavailability using hemoglobin repletion test.

32

Aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and blood urea nitrogen levels were

33

determined to evaluate the effect on liver and kidney function. Protein carbonyls were measured

34

to assess oxidative damage to proteins. Fecal samples at the end of the 14-day repletion period

35

were used for 16S rRNA sequencing for gut microbiota analysis. Slope ratio method using a

36

common intercept-linear regression model was used to compare the bioavailability of the ASP to

37

FeSO4. Results. Iron repletion increased hemoglobin concentrations with both ASP and FeSO4

38

treatments compared to control group, except in the lowest ASP group. The slope ratio indicated

39

that relative iron bioavailability of ASP was 60% that of FeSO4 when hemoglobin change was

40

compared to iron in the diet. Similar results were obtained when absolute iron intake was

41

compared based on food consumption. Compared to the control, protein carbonyl concentrations

42

were significantly (P
