PROTECTIVE ROLE FOR SMOOTH MUSCLE CELL HEPCIDIN IN ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM
2021-07-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Rationale</h4> Hepcidin (HAMP) is a hormone produced primarily in the liver. It controls systemic iron homeostasis by inhibiting the iron exporter ferroportin (FPN) in the gut and spleen, respective sites of iron absorption and recycling. HAMP and FPN are also found ectopically in tissues not involved in systemic iron homeostasis. The physiological functions of ectopic HAMP and FPN are only...
