Abstract

Researchers from Zunyi Medical University in Guizhou, China, have conducted a study on the effects of Norcantharidin (NCTD) on iron metabolism in macrophages. The study found that NCTD downregulates hepcidin and IL-6, while upregulating TfR1, DMT1, and Fpn1 expression in cells treated with lipopolysaccharides. This research provides further evidence of NCTD's role in iron metabolism and its potential impact on hepcidin regulation. The study was funded by various organizations and has been peer-reviewed for publication in Natural Product Research. [Extracted from the article]
