Popis: Hepcidin inhibits iron uptake from the gut and release of iron from macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system. Suppression of plasma hepcidin occurs in lowlanders after ascent to high altitude, reflecting the increased iron demand for erythropoiesis, but the mechanism and primary stimulus for hepcidin suppression in this setting remains unclear...
