Abstract

In the last ten years, hepcidin has emerged as the key iron-regulatory hormone. Given its central role in iron homeostasis,
hepcidin represents an appealing candidate to be investigated in subjects with metabolic syndrom features, but until
now methodological difficulties have hampered large epidemiological studies. The aim of this studie is to investigate the
relationships between hepcidin and metabolic syndrom. This study was carried out from January 2014 to August 2014
at the Department of medical biochemistry and Diabetes Center of Public Health Organization Clinical hospital d-r Trifun
Panovski in Bitola (R.Macedonia). The total number of patients with metabolic syndrom was 120, and the remaining 120
patients we have been chosen healthy people, blood donors. Hepcidin was determined by ELISA kit (DRG Hepcidin-25
bioactive ELISA, Marburg). We found the concentration of hepcidin in males and females with metabolic syndrom had
statistically higher than control group.
