The effect of feeding a low iron diet prior to and during gestation on fetal and maternal iron homeostasis in two strains of rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background Iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy is a global problem, with short and long term consequences for maternal and child health. Animal models have demonstrated that the developing fetus is vulnerable to maternal iron restriction, impacting

Decreased expression of ferroportin in prostate cancer

open access: yesOncology Letters, 2015
The present study examined the expression levels of ferroportin, a transmembrane protein that transports iron from the inside of a cell to the outside, in the prostate cancer PC3, DU145 and LNCAP cell lines, in the normal prostate RWPE2 cell line, and in tissue samples from different differentiation stages of prostatic carcinoma and prostatic ...

How does hepcidin hinder ferroportin activity? [PDF]

open access: yesBlood, 2018
In this issue of Blood , Aschemeyer et al found that hepcidin bound to the central cavity of ferroportin (Fpn) and occluded its iron export activity, thereby revealing a previously unrecognized mechanism for Fpn regulation ...

The spleen–brain axis in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias: Integrating immune and metabolic regulation

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Emerging evidence highlights the central role of peripheral immune–metabolic regulation in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Among peripheral organs, the spleen has gained increasing attention as a critical immune–metabolic hub linking systemic homeostasis to central neurodegeneration.

Divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) in the brain:implications for a role in iron transport at the blood-brain barrier, and neuronal and glial pathology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Iron is required in a variety of essential processes in the body. In this review, we focus on iron transport in the brain and the role of the divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) vital for iron uptake in most cells.

c‐MAF Transcriptionally Activates Slc40a1 to Repress Ferroptosis in Sepsis‐Associated Encephalopathy

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
c‐MAF and its downstream target Slc40a1 were identified as key regulators of ferroptosis in septic mouse hippocampi. Neuron‐specific knockdown of either gene aggravated CLP‐induced cognitive deficits and ferroptosis, whereas their overexpression exerted protective effects.

Hepatic heparan sulfate is a master regulator of hepcidin expression and iron homeostasis in human hepatocytes and mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Hepcidin is a liver-derived peptide hormone that controls systemic iron homeostasis. Its expression is regulated by the bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6)/SMAD1/5/8 pathway and by the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL6).
