Mech Ageing Dev 123:167-76. 2002..0006. At least two potentially relevant candidate genes reside close to this chromosomal position. Hepatic lipid peroxidation potential appears to be a strain related trait in mice that is amenable to QTL analysis...
A call to fins! Zebrafish as a gerontological modelGlenn S Gerhard
Department of Pathology, Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, NH, USA

Uroporphyria in Hfe mutant mice given 5-aminolevulinate: a new model of Fe-mediated porphyria cutanea tardaP R Sinclair
VA Medical Center, White River Junction, VT 05009, USA

Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 138:363-73. 2004..Additional studies will be required to further delineate the role of altered gene expression and oxidative stress on the longevity-promoting effects of temperature reduction...
Genetic factors influence ethanol-induced uroporphyria in Hfe(-/-) miceNadia Gorman
VA Medical Center, White River Junction, VT 05009, USA
Hepatology 40:942-50. 2004..In conclusion, this study demonstrates a strong effect of genetic background on ethanol-induced uroporphyria, which is probably due to a greater effect of ethanol on iron metabolism in the susceptible strain...

VA Medical Center, White River Junction, VT 05009, USA
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 221:235-42. 2007..In conclusion, some minimal basal expression of CYP1A2 is essential for HCB-mediated enhancement of uroporphyria, but increases in CYP1A2 above that level are not essential...
Comparative aspects of zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model for aging researchGlenn S Gerhard
Weis Center for Research, Geisinger Clinic, 100 North Academy Avenue, Danville, PA 17822, USA

Department of Microbiology, Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, 500 University Drive, Hershey, PA 17033, USA
Trends Mol Med 9:118-25. 2003..Although the HFE protein appears to modulate the function of the transferrin receptor in vitro, its precise role in vivo remains obscure. With multiple cell types involved in iron metabolism, the function of HFE is likely to be complex...
