    Glossary Hepcidin

    hormone regulating iron absorption and release in the body

    Hepcidin is a hormone produced by the liver that plays a crucial role in regulating iron levels in the body. It controls the absorption of iron from the diet and its release from storage sites, ensuring that iron levels remain balanced. Elevated hepcidin levels can lead to conditions like anemia, while low levels can cause iron overload disorders.
