CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ROLE OF HEPCIDIN IN THE ANEMIA OF CHRONIC DISEASE

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。这项研究的目的是确定贫血(血液中的低红细胞)与铁吸收的关系，这种贫血发生在患有慢性病的儿童和成人中。最近描述了一种蛋白质(自然产生的物质)，它可以调节人体吸收和利用铁的能力。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Purpose of this study is to define the relationship b/w anemia (low red blood cells in the blood) and iron absorption in a form of anemia which occurs in children and adults with chronic disease. A protein (naturally occuring substance) was recently described which may regulate the body's ability to absorb and use iron.
