[Iron homeostasis, a defense mechanism in oxidative stress].

Abstract excerpt

Iron homeostasis consists in providing iron for a variety of biochemical processes and in limiting iron availability for Fenton reaction. Intracellular and systemic iron homeostasis is an important element in the defense against oxidative stress and is controlled by post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism IRP/IRE and hepcidin, a peptide that regulates iron absorption from diet and heme iron release by...
