Testosterone-responsive mouse kidney glycosphingolipids: developmental and inbred strain effects.

abstract：:Hepcidin plays an essential role in maintaining normal iron homeostasis outside the brain. This recently discovered iron regulation hormone is predominantly expressed in the liver, and regulated by iron and hypoxia. As an antimicrobial peptide, this hormone is also elevated during infections and inflammation. In this ...
