Prognostic Value of Iron-Homeostasis Regulating Peptide Hepcidin in Coronary Heart Disease—Evidence from the Large AtheroGene Study

Prognostic Value of Iron-Homeostasis Regulating Peptide Hepcidin in Coronary Heart Disease—Evidence from the Large AtheroGene Study

Iron is essential in terms of oxygen utilization and mitochondrial function. The liver-derived peptide hepcidin has been recognized as a key regulator of iron homeostasis. Since iron metabolism is crucially linked to cardiovascular health, and low hepcidin was proposed as potential new marker of iro...
