A tight relationship between iron deficiency and obesity is known to exist. The chronic low‐
grade inflammation that characterizes obesity enhances hepcidin production, the principal …

Background Recently, hepcidin expression in adipose tissue has been described and
shown to be increased in patients with severe obesity. We tried to assess the effect of …

At least five New World arenaviruses cause severe human hemorrhagic fevers. These
viruses are transmitted to humans through contact with their respective South American …

Obesity is a serious health problem in modern life and increases the risk of many
comorbidities including iron dyshomeostasis. In contrast to malnourished anemia, obesity …

The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of published literature on
differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in human epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) to identify …

Objective Iron participates in several mechanisms involving inflammation and innate
immunity, yet the dysregulation of its homeostasis is a major cause of metabolic syndrome …

Aim Our previous study demonstrated that chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH)
improved iron metabolism disorder in obese rats through the downregulation of hepcidin …

Hepcidin is a 25-amino acid peptide with a defensinlike structure that is primarily
synthesized in hepatocytes [1, 2]. It was independently isolated∼ 10 years ago by two …

Hepcidin is the main regulator of systemic iron homeostasis and is primarily produced by the
liver but is also expressed, at the mRNA‐level, in periphery tissues including the …
