Unraveling Hepcidin Plasma Protein Binding: Evidence from Peritoneal Equilibration Testing

Peptide hormone hepcidin regulates systemic iron metabolism and has been described to be partially bound to α2-macroglobulin and albumin in blood. However, the reported degree of hepcidin protein binding varies between <3% and ≈89%. Since protein-binding may influence hormo...
