Kinetic measurements of renin and hepcidin-20 and hepcidin-25.
Binding properties of different forms of hepcidin was measured with biolayer interferometry using biotinylated renin as ligand with streptavidin sensors and hepcidin-20 and hepcidin-25 as analyte.

Sequencing and expression analysis of hepcidin mRNA in donkey (Equus asinus) liver
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.

Hepcidin is potential regulator for renin activity
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 ...

The effects of a single dialysis session on serum hepcidin levels
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 ...

Antimicrobial Peptides and Peptidomimetics in Foods – A Synthetic Foray
This Review discusses AMPs in foods and their syntheses. It espouses facile methods to make them accessible and suggests their utility in the mitigation and eradication of the burgeoning maladies of antimicrobial and multidrug resistance (AMR and MDR).

Abstract Objectives Anaemia impairs daily activities and quality of life in patients with paediatric‐onset inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anaemia at PIBD‐diagnosis and the following 5 years. Furthermore, anaemia subtypes and the association between anaemia and disease activity were assessed over ...

Hepcidin prevents absorption of iron from the intestine and inhibits release of iron from macrophages and hepatocytes. For this reason, it seems that high levels of hepcidin are a predisposing factor for anemia in chronic inflammatory conditions such as ...

Hepcidin-25 in chronic hemodialysis patients is related to residual kidney function and not to treatment with erythropoiesis stimulating agents. [PDF]
Hepcidin-25, the bioactive form of hepcidin, is a key regulator of iron homeostasis as it induces internalization and degradation of ferroportin, a cellular iron exporter on enterocytes, macrophages and hepatocytes.

ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) are inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the CNS whose diagnosis is mainly based on clinical evidence, magnetic resonance imaging, and the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Current approaches provide only partial insight into disease‐related biological processes, thus

Hepcidin: Regulation of the master iron regulator [PDF]
Iron, an essential nutrient, is required for many diverse biological processes. The absence of a defined pathway to excrete excess iron makes it essential for the body to regulate the amount of iron absorbed; a deficiency could lead to iron deficiency ...
