Positive hepcidin/pro-hepcidin staining in ischemic brain.

open access: yes, 2013
Hepcidin/pro-hepcidin was detected by immunohistochemistry. Hepcidin/pro-hepcidin positive staining was significantly increased in cerebral cortex, hippocampus and corpus striatum of ischemic brain.

L (2011) Molecular mechanisms regulating hepcidin revealed by hepcidin disorders

open access: yes, 2020
Iron is essential for human life, but toxic if present in excess. To avoid iron overload and maintain iron homeostasis, all cells are able to regulate their iron content through the post-transcriptional control of iron genes operated by the cytosolic ...

Kupffer cells modulate iron homeostasis in mice via regulation of hepcidin expression

open access: yes, 2007
Hepcidin, a small cationic liver derived peptide, is a master regulator of body iron homeostasis. Cytokines and iron availability have so far been identified as regulators of hepcidin expression.

Hepcidin peptide treatment induces intracellular hepcidin expression.

open access: yes, 2013
Huh7.5 cells were incubated with hepcidin for 0.5 h, 1 h and 4 h, followed by total RNA extraction. QRT-PCR was performed to examine hepcidin mRNA expression. The data are presented as mean ± SD from three independent experiments.

Production of Recombinant Bacmid Containing the Coding Sequence of Human Hepcidin

open access: yesMedical Laboratory Journal, 2013
Background and objective: Hepcidin is a cystein-rich antimicrobial peptide, which is secreted by the liver. It fights against wide spectrum of bacteria, viruses and fungi and it is a major regulator of iron homeostasis.

Hepcidin Regulation of Iron Transport

open access: yes, 2008
The discovery of hepcidin as a key regulator of iron homeostasis has advanced our current knowledge of this field. Liver-derived hepcidin peptide is secreted in response to iron and inflammation and interacts with the iron export protein ferroportin ...

Chronic hyperplastic anemia as an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic lesions: a lesson from thalassemia intermedia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Introduction. Cardiovascular involvement represents a well-known complication and the primary cause of mortality, both in transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia major (β-TM) and in transfusion-independent beta thalassemia intermedia (β-TI ...
