As an essential element, iron plays a central role in many physiological processes, including
redox balance, inflammation, energy metabolism, and environment sensing. Perturbations in …

Background Intense physical stress might promote inflammatory responses, whereas a
regular physical exercise has positive influence. Little is known on the acute metabolic and …

Osteoporosis is one of the leading disorders among aged people. Bone loss results from a
number of physiological alterations, such as estrogen decline and aging. Meanwhile, iron …

Background and aims Whether iron metabolism affects metabolic syndrome (METS) is
debated. We assessed the association between several markers of iron metabolism and …

Background The inflammatory process is known to be an integral part of the

cardiovascular risk factors in patients with prediabetes. Methods Eighteen patients with …

Purpose There is a relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and adipose
tissue dysfunction (ADD), but this relationship is not clear. It has been recently shown that …

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a cluster of related metabolic abnormalities,
including central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance …

Purpose Increased iron storage, as measured by circulating ferritin, has been linked to an
increased risk of various diseases including diabetes. We examined the association of …

Background & aims Increased iron stores significantly influence the clinical course of several
chronic metabolic diseases. Recent studies have shown that iron overload decreases …
