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 …

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 …

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

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

Iron deficiency is a frequent and multifactorial disorder in the career of athletes, particularly
in females. Exercise-induced disturbances in iron homeostasis produce deleterious effects …

Exercise-associated iron deficiency is a common disorder in endurance athletes. The
authors investigated the effects of long-term endurance exercise on hepcidin concentrations …

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 …
