BMC Cancer, 2009 Background Hepcidin has an important role in iron metabolism. We investigated whether hepcidin was involved in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods We measured serum hepcidin-25 levels in 32 patients by liquid chromatograpy (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS,

Hepcidin expression in iron overload diseases is variably modulated by circulating factors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Hepcidin is a regulatory hormone that plays a major role in controlling body iron homeostasis. Circulating factors (holotransferrin, cytokines, erythroid regulators) might variably contribute to hepcidin modulation in different pathological conditions ...

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 ...

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.

Hepcidin is potential regulator for renin activity
PLoS ONE, 2022 An association between genetic variants in the genes HFE, HJV, BMP4 and arterial hypertension has been shown earlier. Proteins encoded by these genes participate in the signalling routes leading eventually to the production of the peptide hormone ...

Sequencing and expression analysis of hepcidin mRNA in donkey (Equus asinus) liver
Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2012 The hypoferremia that is observed during systemic inflammatory processes is mediated by hepcidin, which is a peptide that is mainly synthesized in the livers of several mammalian species.

The effects of a single dialysis session on serum hepcidin levels
Türk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2023 Hepcidin plays an important role in regulating iron metabolism. Elevated levels of hepcidin in renal failure contribute to the development of anemia. We aimed to evaluate the association between hepcidin and inflammation in hemodialysis patients and how ...

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

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 ...
