Abstract

Aim:Hepcidin levels are suppressed during human and murine pregnancy. It is unknown whether hepcidin levels are primarily the result of iron deficiency/utilisation or whether there is a pregnancy-specific mechanism for hepcidin suppression. We reasoned that Tmprss6inhibition would cause constitutive BMP-SMAD signalling and help determine the mechanism of antenatal hepcidin suppression.
