Hepcidin, a peptide hormone with an acknowledged evolutionary function in iron
homeostasis, was discovered at the turn of the 21st century. Since then, the implications of …

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 …

Iron is a trace mineral used by the body in many physiological processes that are essential
for athletic performance. However, it is common that an athlete's iron stores are …

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 …

The trace element iron plays a number of crucial physiological roles within the body. Despite
its importance, iron deficiency remains a common problem among athletes. As an …

Abs tract Given the multiple functions of iron in the body, any state of iron deficiency will
induce a series of secondary effects that could compromise sports performance. Low serum …

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

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