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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 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 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 …

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 …

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 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 …
