More recently, elevated hepatic iron levels also have been observed in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Iron overload in the liver causes many changes including induction of oxidative stress, damage to lysosomes and mitochondria, altered oxidant defense systems and stimulation of hepatocyte ...
Effect of Elevated Dietary Levels of Iron on the Performance and Blood Constituents of Calves Fifty-six Holstein male calves were used in two experiments to determine the minimum toxic level of iron and the effect of high levels of dietary iron on performance and blood constituents. A ration com...
Inflammatory cytokines play a crucial role in the human immune response to infection by malaria. During the initial sporozoite infection of the liver the presence of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) can be determinant. IL-6 controls systemic iron homeostasis through hepcidin, which is produced mainly by hepat...
Relation of elevated serum alanine aminotransferase activity with iron and antioxidant levels in the United States Oxidative stress is thought to play a role in liver injury. Hepatic iron may promote liver injury, whereas antioxidant vitamins and minerals may inhibit it... CE Ruhl,JE Everhart - ...

In this context, the strongest evidence supporting the “iron hypothesis” was the significant association between higher plasma ferritin concentrations and increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes [2,3,4]. Hepcidin is a peptide hormone produced by the liver that plays a crucial role in ...
