Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: While the upregulation of duodenal cytochrome b (Dcytb) within duodenal enterocytes is reported in patients with iron deficiency, the expression of hephaestin (Hp) remains controversial in altered iron metabolism states, including HFE associated hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). The effect of iron depletion therapy on the expression of these molecules is unclear. This study examines the...
