Abstract

To determine the impact of acute hypoxia on prohepcidin concentrations in humans, we measured concentrations of this peptide in serum collected during and after a transient period (30 min) of hypoxia and during normoxia. Prohepcidin concentrations were significantly lower 150 min after the end of hypoxia than after normoxia (p=0.028).
