Hepcidin, a peptide hormone produced by hepatocytes, is the central regulator of systemic iron homeostasis through its interaction with ferroportin, the major cellular iron export protein. Hepcidin binding to ferroportin results in reduced iron export from macrophages and intestinal absorptive cells, ...

Hepcidin may play a pathogenetic role in iron metobolism disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between hepcidin concentration and parameters of iron metabolism in patients with different stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods. The study involved 104 patients ...
The purpose of this study was to describe the changes in iron status indicators at 6 and 12 months of age, controlling by inflammation by measurin
Not all aspects of the disruption of iron homeostasis in cancer have been fully elucidated. Iron accumulation in cancer cells is frequent for many solid tumours, and this is often accompanied by the contemporary rise of two key iron regulators, HIF2α and Hepcidin. This scenario is different fr...
Hepcidin levels are usually higher than the normal range in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection leads to lowering of hepcidin levels, leading to more iron overload. The objectives were to determine whether there is a correlation between iron stores and hepcidin levels ...
Results: Serum hepcidin was significantly higher in patients with H. pylori infection and iron deficiency anemia. However, non-significant correlation between hepcidin and both iron and ferritin were found. Conclusion: Helicobacter pylori could modulate serum hepcidin level in patients with iron ...
The serum level of iron in humans is tightly controlled by the action of the hormone hepcidin on the iron efflux transporter ferroportin. Hepcidin regulates iron absorption and recycling by inducing the internalization and degradation of ferroportin1. Ab
Magnetic resonance imaging can be used to track cellular activities in the body using iron-based contrast agents. However, multiple intrinsic cellular iron handling mechanisms may also influence the detection of magnetic resonance (MR) contrast: a need t
