Background: Hepcidin-25 is a liver-derived peptide hormone that regulates iron homeostasis in humans. Recent studies have suggested that it also plays a key role in host-pathogen interface. Iron is essential for the survival and growth of bacteria. When the bacteria infect macrophages, macrophages release a number of cytokines, including interleukin-6, which induce hepatic production of […]

Background: Hepcidin-25 is a liver-derived key peptide hormone that regulates iron homeostasis in humans. Recent studies have suggested that hepcidin also play a key role in host-defense mechanism. Iron is essential for the survival and growth of bacteria. When the bacteria infect macrophages, macrophages release a number of cytokines including interleukin-6, which increase production of […]

Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a cardiac emergency that requires timely reperfusion preferably with cardiac catheterization. The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV2), has adversely impacted the delivery of healthcare to patients with STEMI. Several process changes were observed across the world during this period, including alternative cardiac […]
