Hepcidin- A Burgeoning Biomarker

Hepcidin- A Burgeoning Biomarker

The discovery of hepcidin has triggered a virtual ignition of studies on iron metabolism and related disorders. The peptide hormone hepcidin is a key homeostatic regulator of iron metabolism. The synthesis of hepcidin is induced by systemic iron levels and by inflammatory stimuli. Several human dise...
