JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH, 2013 Iron related disorders are encountered in daily clinical settings. Maintenance of stable extracellular iron concentrations requires the coordinate regulation of iron transport into plasma from dietary sources in the duodenum, from recycled senescent red cells in macrophages and from storage in hepatocytes.

, 2022 The hepcidin is antimicrobial peptide has antimicrobial effects discover before more than a thousand years; it has a great role in iron metabolism and innate immunity. Hepcidin is a regulator of iron homeostasis. Its production is increased by iron excess and inflammation and decreased by hypoxia and anemia.

Can Dietary Iron Bioavailability Influence Colorectal Cancer Risk and Prognosis? [PDF]
Middle East Journal of CancerColorectal cancer (CRC) stands apart from other malignancies due to its pronounced association with dietary patterns. Approximately 70% of all CRC cases arise sporadically, and suboptimal dietary and lifestyle choices can override certain predisposing ...

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 ...

Antimicrobial Peptides as Mediators of Innate Immunity in Teleosts
Biology, 2015 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been identified throughout the metazoa suggesting their evolutionarily conserved nature and their presence in teleosts is no exception. AMPs are short (18–46 amino acids), usually cationic, amphipathic peptides.

Teleost Piscidins—In Silico Perspective of Natural Peptide Antibiotics from Marine Sources
Antibiotics, 2023 Fish, like all other animals, are exposed to constant contact with microbes, both on their skin and on the surfaces of their respiratory and digestive systems. Fish have a system of non-specific immune responses that provides them with initial protection
