Polymorphisms in the Gene That Encodes the Iron Transport Protein Ferroportin 1 Influence Susceptibility to Tuberculosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: We studied the association between iron intake and polymorphisms in the iron transporter gene, SLC40A1, and the risk of tuberculosis. Methods: We compared iron intake, the frequency of SLC40A1 mutations, and interactions between these ...

Liver Fibrosis: Molecular Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Interventions

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
We systematically summarized the etiologies, diagnostic approaches, and pathogenic mechanisms of liver fibrosis. Also, the therapeutic interventions for liver fibrosis were systematically classified into two main categories: etiological treatment and mechanism‐based antifibrotic therapies.

Insights into molecular mechanisms of disease in Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation; unifying theories. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is a group of disorders characterised by dystonia, parkinsonism and spasticity. Iron accumulates in the basal ganglia and may be accompanied by Lewy bodies, axonal swellings and hyperphosphorylated ...

Enteric Nervous System Damage by Food Contaminants: A Pathway to Neurodegeneration?

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The enteric nervous system (ENS), a key component of the gut–brain axis, has emerged as a critical player in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is the first neural system exposed to food contaminants (FCs)—a diverse group of ubiquitous toxic compounds fortuitously present in food derived from production, processing, storage, or ...

Evidence for the multimeric structure of ferroportin

open access: yesBlood, 2006
Abstract Ferroportin (Fpn) (IREG1, SLC40A1, MTP1) is an iron transporter, and mutations in Fpn result in a genetically dominant form of iron overload disease. Previously, we demonstrated that Fpn is a multimer and that mutations in Fpn are dominant negative.

Ferritin and Iron Studies in Anaemia and Chronic Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red cells necessary to meet the body's physiological requirements is insufficient. Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and the anaemia of chronic disease (ACD) are the two most common causes of anaemia worldwide ...

Identification of Common Blood Metabolic Derangements Using Magnetic Resonance Signatures of the Pancreas and Liver

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 4162-4175, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate whether common disturbances of glucose and lipid metabolism can be automatically identified from magnetic resonance signatures of the pancreas and liver. Methods In this proof‐of‐principle study, 100 individuals with a history of pancreatitis—a relatively homogeneous population at risk for metabolic derangements—underwent ...

HFE-Related Hemochromatosis May Be a Primary Kupffer Cell Disease

open access: yesBiomedicines
Iron overload can lead to increased deposition of iron and cause organ damage in the liver, the pancreas, the heart and the synovium. Iron overload disorders are due to either genetic or acquired abnormalities such as excess transfusions or chronic liver

Iron Status, Erythropoietin, and Cancer Incidence in the General Population

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study investigated the association between iron parameters and EPO and the development of overall and site‐specific cancer in a large cohort with a median follow‐up of 18.5 years (n = 6109; 1090 de novo malignancies). In multivariable cox proportional hazard analysis, we found that increased EPO, and decreased hepcidin concentrations are ...
