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

<div>Immunohistochemical detection of FPN in Caco-2/TC7 cell monolayers was cultured with or without hepcidin (0-100 nM). FPN expression in Caco-2/TC7 cell monolayers was downregulated dependently on hepcidin concentration.</div>
