Ferroportin-Hepcidin Axis in Prepubertal Obese Children with Sufficient Daily Iron Intake

Ferroportin-Hepcidin Axis in Prepubertal Obese Children with Sufficient Daily Iron Intake

Iron metabolism may be disrupted in obesity, therefore, the present study assessed the iron status, especially ferroportin and hepcidin concentrations, as well as associations between the ferroportin-hepcidin axis and other iron markers in prepubertal obese children. The following were determined: s...
