Purpose The short-term restriction of carbohydrate (CHO) can potentially influence iron
regulation via modification of postexercise interleukin-6 (IL-6) and hepcidin levels. This …

Objectives Adhering to a low carbohydrate (CHO) high fat (LCHF) diet can alter markers of
iron metabolism in endurance athletes. This investigation examined the re-introduction of …

Purpose To quantify the effects of a short-term (6-d) low carbohydrate (CHO) high fat
(LCHF), and low energy availability (LEA) diet on immune, inflammatory, and iron-regulatory …

Background Declines in iron status are frequently reported in those who regularly engage in
strenuous physical activity. A possible reason is increases in the iron regulatory hormone …

Purpose To examine the effects of 24-h controlled carbohydrate intake on next day pre-and
post-exercise inflammatory and hepcidin responses. Methods In a crossover design, 12 well …

The provision or restriction of select nutrients in an athlete's diet can elicit a variety of
changes in fuel utilization, training adaptation, and performance outcomes. Furthermore …

Background Iron status is a determinant of physical performance, but training may induce
both low-grade inflammation and erythropoiesis, exerting opposing influences on hepcidin …

The aim of our study was twofold, firstly to examine the relationship between plasma
concentrations of IL-6, hepcidin and iron following prolonged exercise and secondly, to …

Iron supplementation contributes an effort to improving iron status among athletes, but it
does not always prevent iron deficiency. In the present study, we explored the effect of three …

Iron is an important mineral in the body, essential for muscle function and oxygen transport.
Adequate levels of iron in the blood are necessary for athletes, as iron-deficiency anemia …
