    Hepcidin1 Knockout Mice Display Defects in Bone Microarchitecture and Changes of Bone Formation Markers

    Iron accumulation is a risk factor of osteoporosis; mechanisms leading to iron-related bone loss are not fully determined. We sought to better understand the effect of chronic iron accumulation on bone over t...

    Therapeutic Effect of Deferoxamine on Iron Overload-Induced Inhibition of Osteogenesis in a Zebrafish Model

    Osteoporosis results from an imbalance in bone remodeling, in which osteoclastic bone resorption exceeds osteoblastic bone formation. Iron has recently been recognized as an independent risk factor for osteopo...

    Iron Overload Inhibits Osteoblast Biological Activity Through Oxidative Stress

    Iron overload has recently been connected with bone mineral density in osteoporosis. However, to date, the effect of iron overload on osteoblasts remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to exam...

    Effect of hepcidin on intracellular calcium in human osteoblasts

    Hepcidin is known to increase intracellular iron through binding to and degrading ferroportin, which is a transmembrane protein that transports iron from the intracellular to the outside. However, it is not cl...
