“…Much of this NTBI will be cleared by the liver after it is reduced to Fe 2+ [54,58], and strong evidence exists for the presence of ferrireductase activity at the cell surface of hepatocytes [39] and other cell types [24,26]. Notably, DMT1 is upregulated at the plasma membrane of hepatocytes in iron overload [53] and is also expressed in the heart [19,23,27], a major site of iron toxicity in overload [20]. Thus, H + -uncoupled Fe 2+ transport mediated by DMT1 expressed at the plasma membrane can account for the hepatic accumulation of NTBI and directly contribute to the etiology of hepatic and cardiac toxicity in iron overload disorders.…”

“…Hemochromatosis is a MHC class I -like molecule that regulates duodenal iron absorption when stabilized by h2-miocroglobulin and bound to cell surface -associated transferrin receptor (14). Hemochromatosis Tyr282 homozygotes fail to properly assemble the HFE-h2m-TFR complex and are at increased risk of iron accumulation and its sequelae (15).…”

“…Bacon and colleagues, found in their study that there had been no fibrosis in liver biposies of the patients whose liver enzymes were normal and who was under 40 years of age. Liver biopsy is not recommended for C282Y homozygous patients who are under 40 years of age and whose liver enzymes are normal and serum ferritin is below 1000 ng / mL (21,45). In a study of 197 C282Y homozygous patients in France, Guyader and colleagues found that there were severe fibrosis in liver biopsy in patients with normal AST levels without hepatomegaly by pyhsical examination and whose ferritin levels under 1000 ng/mL (44).…”
