Hepcidin, an emerging and important player in brain iron homeostasis
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018 Hepcidin is emerging as a new important factor in brain iron homeostasis. Studies suggest that there are two sources of hepcidin in the brain; one is local and the other comes from the circulation.

Hepcidin- A Burgeoning Biomarker [PDF]
National Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2017 The discovery of hepcidin has triggered a virtual ignition of studies on iron metabolism and related disorders. The peptide hormone hepcidin is a key homeostatic regulator of iron metabolism.

Hepcidin and sports anemia [PDF]
Cell & Bioscience, 2014 Iron is an important mineral element used by the body in a variety of metabolic and physiologic processes. These processes are highly active when the body is undergoing physical exercises. Prevalence of exercise-induced iron deficiency anemia (also known as sports anemia) is notably high in athletic populations, particularly those with heavy training ...

Biophysical and Cell Biological Studies Characterizing the Vertebrate Iron Exporter Ferroportin [PDF]
, 2009 Mammalian iron homeostasis is maintained by an intricate network of diverse proteins that constantly survey systemic iron levels and carefully regulate the uptake of iron from the diet. Control of this uptake is critically important because once iron is

The association between Hepcidin and arterial stiffness in a community-dwelling population
Lipids in Health and Disease, 2018 Background An association of hepcidin with cardiovascular (CV) disease and atherosclerosis has been reported in different patient groups. However, it has not been well described clinically the association between hepcidin and arterial stiffness.

Cellular catabolism of the iron-regulatory peptide hormone hepcidin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Hepcidin, a 25-amino acid peptide hormone, is the principal regulator of plasma iron concentrations. Hepcidin binding to its receptor, the iron exporter ferroportin, induces ferroportin internalization and degradation, thus blocking iron efflux from ...

The pathophysiology and pharmacology of hepcidin [PDF]
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2014 Inappropriate production of the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin contributes to the pathogenesis of common iron disorders. Absolute or relative deficiency of hepcidin causes iron overload in hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-loading anemias. Elevated hepcidin causes iron restriction in inflammatory conditions including autoimmune disease, critical ...
