2014). This is of particular importance because there is no regulated mechanism to secrete iron from the body, except bleeding or sloughing of mucosa and/or skin. Considering that nutritional iron uptake represents less than 0.1% of the total body iron, endogenous iron recycling is required. ...
At the systemic level, iron levels are regulated through the controlled absorption of dietary iron via enterocytes, duodenal cell sloughing, sweating, blood loss, and recycling of systemic iron [1,2]. At the cellular level, however, regulatory molecules such as ferroportin and hepcidin contribute ...
