Increased Duodenal Iron Absorption through Upregulation of Ferroportin 1 due to the Decrement in Serum Hepcidin in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C

<div>Immunohistochemical analysis of FPN in duodenum biopsy tissues from patients with CHC (a, b) and those of control participants (c, d). FPN expression was higher in the CHC group than in the control group. The immunohistochemical score was significantly higher in CHC patients compared with control participants (e).</div>
