The increase in hepcidin expression drastically blocks the flow of iron, which can come from one’s diet, from iron stores, and from erythrophagocytosis. Many anemic conditions are caused by non-physiologic increases in hepcidin. The sequestration of iron in the intestine and in other tissues poses worrying premises in view of discoveries about the mechanisms of ferroptosis. The nutritional treatment of these anemic states cannot ignore the nutritional modulation of hepcidin, in addition to the bioavailability of iron. This work aims to describe and summarize the few findings about the role of hepcidin in anemic diseases and ferroptosis, as well as the modulation of hepcidin levels by diet and nutrients. metadata D’Andrea, Patrizia; Giampieri, Francesca y Battino, Maurizio mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, francesca.giampieri@uneatlantico.es, maurizio.battino@uneatlantico.es     <http://repositorio.uneatlantico.es/id/eprint/10095/1/nutrients-15-05081.pdf>     (2023) Nutritional Modulation of Hepcidin in the Treatment of Various Anemic States.
