HAMP and anemia (phenotype): Anaemia independent of the expression of hepcidin has been observed in other situations, namely after LPS administration to TIR domain-containing adaptor protein (TRIF)-deficient mice (Layoun et al., 2012) and Hepcidin+/− mice (Deschemin and Vaulont, 2013), in a murine model of protracted peritonitis (Schubert et al., 2012) and notably following TNF administration to mice (Laftah et al., 2006).
