The regulation and metabolism of iron is dependant on the regulatory hormone that is produced in the liver, known as hepcidin. Hepcidin helps regulate body iron homeostasis by determining the magnitude of dietary iron release from the enterocytes and stored iron release from reticuloendothelial macrophages (Feng, 2012). When activated it regulates the degradation of Ferroportin which is responsible for the transport of iron throughout the body. Normally hepcidin concentrations will increase in the presence of inflammation and iron overload (Silvestri et al, 2008).…
