In mammals, iron balance is maintained by regulating intestinal iron absorption and iron recycling by macrophages.
The central role of hepcidin in the establishment of iron deficiency or overload has been revealed by the study of murine models.
Many hopes have emerged from the discovery of hepcidin, pointing to potential treatments for hemochromatosis and anemia of inflammation (anemia of chronic disease).
在哺乳动物中,铁平衡通过调节肠道铁吸收和巨噬细胞的铁循环来维持。
通过对小鼠模型的研究,已揭示了铁调素在缺铁或铁过载形成中的核心作用。
铁调素的发现带来了诸多希望,为血色沉着病和炎症性贫血(慢性病贫血)指明了潜在的治疗方向。
