Neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD) includes processes of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress which are related to dysregulation in the homeostasis of iron metabolism. Hepcidin is a peptide hormone responsible for systemic iron homeostasis and simultaneously the inflammatory response protein, induced in response to interleukin 6 (IL‑6). We assessed the serum concentration of hepcidin...
Oxidative stress is one of the possible mechanisms of neurodegeneration. One of the elements of this mechanism are altered iron homeostasis and changes concerning of iron metabolism regulatory proteins. The primary iron storage protein in cells is ferritin, composed of heavy (H) and light (L) chains. In brain tissue neurons contain mainly ferritin H-chains, whereas glial cells are rich in L-chains...
