Iron overload is due to the chronic transfusions needed to regulate effective red blood cells. The regulation and metabolism of iron is dependant on the regulatory hormone that is produced in the liver, known as hepcidin.

When activated…

work in your selection. At the beginning of the poem the speaker establishes that the place she has been shut out from is “my garden, mine, beneath the sky”.
