Summary Introduction

To devise:

A hypothesis that explains the difference between the excess of iron uptake in a person suffering with hemochromatosis and a normal person.

Introduction:

In the disease of hemochromatosis the iron intake of the patient increases very much. There is a need of some elements in our body but an excess of any of the element in our body also produces toxicity in our body. So if excess of iron is stored in our body parts then it will lead to the damage of that body part which has excess of iron.
