Therefore, we compared the concentration of select iron proteins involved in transport (DMT-1, L-CH, TfR-1;-2, FPN); storage (FT-H FT-L, FT-MT); regulation (Hepc, ACO-1, IREB-2, HIF-1, HJV); and a marker of oxidative stress (4-HNE) in the hearts of healthy and HF patients. Here, IREB2 is linked to hydrops fetalis.
