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 …

Iron is essential for providing oxygen to working muscles during exercise, and iron
deficiency leads to decreased exercise capacity during endurance events. However, the …

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 …

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 deficiency anemia (IDA) and iron deficiency (ID) are frequently observed among
endurance athletes. The iron regulatory hormone hepcidin may be involved in IDA and/or ID …

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 …

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 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 …

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 …

We determined the effects of repeated sprint exercise under normoxic and hypoxic
conditions on serum hepcidin levels. Ten male athletes (age: 20.9±0.3 years; height …
