    M Vokurka
    Ustav patologické fyziologie 1 LF UK, Praha
    Cas Lek Cesk 142:465-9. 2003
    ..Hepcidin is not only the physiological regulator of iron kinetics but is supposed to be a part of the pathogenetic mechanism of anaemia accompanying chronic diseases and its relationship to the hereditary hemochromatosis is also studied...
  2. ncbi Hepcidin mRNA levels in mouse liver respond to inhibition of erythropoiesis
    M Vokurka
    Institute of Pathophysiology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic
    Physiol Res 55:667-74. 2006
    ..We propose that hepcidin is exclusively sensitive to iron utilization for erythropoiesis and hepatocyte iron balance, and these changes are not sensed by other genes involved in the control of iron metabolism in the liver...
  3. ncbi Hepcidin expression in the liver of mice with implanted tumour reacts to iron deficiency, inflammation and erythropoietin administration
    M Vokurka

    J Krijt
    Institute of Pathophysiology and Center of Experimental Hematology, Charles University in Prague, First Faculty of Medicine, Prague, Czech Republic
    Physiol Res 59:53-9. 2010
    ..In addition, the presented data suggest that, under in vivo conditions, tissue hypoxia does not transcriptionally regulate the activity of furin or TMPRSS6 proteases...
  5. ncbi Effect of lipopolysaccharide and bleeding on the expression of intestinal proteins involved in iron and haem transport
    J Krijt
    Institute of Pathophysiology, 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic
    Folia Biol (Praha) 52:1-5. 2006
    ..A decrease in circulating hepcidin increases the expression of proteins participating in non-haem iron uptake, but has no significant effect on Hcp1 mRNA content...
  6. ncbi Plasma hepcidin correlates positively with interleukin-6 in patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy
    P Maruna
    Institute of Pathological Physiology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic
    Physiol Res 60:493-502. 2011
    ..Hepcidin increase was related to IL-6 concentrations and to the duration of surgical procedure. Our clinical findings are in conformity with recent experimental studies defining hepcidin as a type II acute-phase protein...
  7. ncbi Hepcidin expression in adipose tissue increases during cardiac surgery
    M Vokurka
    Institute of Pathological Physiology, Center of Experimental Hematology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic
    Physiol Res 59:393-400. 2010
    ..We suggest that acute inflammatory changes could affect the regulation of hepcidin expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue and thus possibly contribute to inflammation-induced systemic changes of iron metabolism...
