Adaptation of iron requirement to hypoxic conditions at high altitude

Gassmann, Max; Muckenthaler, Martina U. (American Physiological Society, 2015)

Adequate acclimatization time to enable adjustment to hypoxic conditions is one of the most important aspects for mountaineers ascending to high altitude. Accordingly, most reviews emphasize mechanisms that cope with reduced ...
Regulation of hepcidin expression at high altitude

Talbot, N.P.; Lakhal, S.; Smith, T.G.; Privat, C.; Nickol, A.H.; Rivera Chira, Maria Concepcion; León-Velarde, Fabiola; Dorrington, K.L.; Mole, D.R.; Robbins, P.A. (Elsevier, 2012)

Enhanced erythropoietic drive and iron deficiency both influence iron homeostasis through the suppression of the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin. Hypoxia also suppresses hepcidin through a mechanism that is unknown. We ...
