Background Hepcidin is an iron regulating hormone, and exercise-induced hepcidin
elevation is suggested to increase the risk of iron deficiency among athletes. Objective We …

The purpose of the present study was to determine the influence of hypoxic exposure during
prolonged endurance exercise sessions (79 min in total) on post-exercise hepcidin levels in …

Background: Prevalence of iron deficiency is commonly reported among athletic population
groups. It impairs physical performance due to insufficient oxygen delivery to target organs …

Background Hepcidin, the master iron regulatory hormone, has been shown to peak 3–6 h
postexercise, and is likely a major contributor to the prevalence of iron deficiency in athletes …

Urinary hepcidin, inflammation, and iron metabolism were examined during the 24 hr after
exercise. Eight moderately trained athletes (6 men, 2 women) completed a 60-min running …

Background This investigation compared the effects of an extended period of weight-bearing
(running) vs. non-weight-bearing (cycling) exercise on hepcidin production and its …

Purpose: To investigate the effects of acute exercise on serum hepcidin and iron (sFe) in
active women. Changes in interleukin-6 (IL-6), hepcidin, ferritin, and sFe in response to 2 …

The prevalence of iron deficiency tends to be higher in athletic populations, especially
among endurancetrained females. Recent studies have provided evidence that the iron …

Background and Aims Exercise-induced iron deficiency is a common finding in endurance
athletes. It has been suggested recently that hepcidin may be an important mediator in this …

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 …
