Hepcidin as a risk marker for cardiovascular disease in periodontitis—A case control study
Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology, 2023 Background: Hepcidin is a 25 amino acid peptide expressed in the liver. Discovered as late as 2002, hepcidin is a master regulator of iron metabolism and is sensitive to inflammation. Chronic periodontitis, being an inflammatory condition, affects levels
