Background Hepcidin, a peptide that is released into the blood in response to inflammation,
prevents cellular iron export and results in declines in iron status. Elevated serum and …

This study explored the relationship between serum ferritin and hepcidin in athletes.
Baseline serum ferritin levels of 54 athletes from the control trial of five investigations …

Iron deficiency among endurance athletes is of major concern for coaches, physicians, and
nutritionists. Recently, it has been observed that hepcidin, the master regulator of iron …

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

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 …

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

Aim. Exercise may induce an inflammatory response that may lead to changes in iron
metabolism. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the inflammation …

Purpose The extent to which hepcidin regulation after acute bouts of exercise is influenced
by baseline (resting) concentrations of key iron parameters remains uncertain. This …

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 …
